Abstract
Resistance to erythromycin in Streptococcus pneumoniae was first detected in 1967 in the United States and subsequently worldwide ([11][1], [20][2]). The corresponding mechanism was rapidly identified as ribosomal methylation, which had been primarily reported as being responsible for erythromycinThis publication has 51 references indexed in Scilit:
