Abstract
A gene which mediates inducible resistance to macrolides, lincosamides, and streptogramin B antibiotics, designated erm (33), was detected on the Staphylococcus sciuri plasmid pSCFS1. Analysis of the erm (33) reading frame suggested that this gene was the product of a recombination between an erm (C) gene and an erm (A) gene. Such a recombination event is a novel observation for erm genes.Keywords
