Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To detect the presence of lnu genes in staphylococcal strains with the unusual phenotype lincosamide resistance/macrolide susceptibility (L(R)/M(S)), and to determine their locations and genetic environments. METHODS: Six staphylococcal strains of human and animal origin with the phenoty...
