摘要

A novel erm(44) gene variant, erm(44)(v), has been identified by whole-genome sequencing in a Staphylococcus saprophyticus isolate from the skin of a healthy person. It has the particularity to confer resistance to macrolides and lincos-amides but not to streptogramin B when expressed in S. aureus. The erm(44)(v) gene resides on a 19,400-bp genomic island which contains phage-associated proteins and is integrated into the chromosome of S. saprophyticus.
