Drug resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. Induction of macrolide resistance by erythromycin, oleandomycin and their derivatives.
Antibacterial and inducer activities concerning inducible macrolide resistance in Staphylococcus aureus were investigated using 32 erythromycin, oleandomycin and other macrolide antibiotic derivatives and analogues. The macrolides were classified into five groups from very high to none according to their inducer activity.
