title: Mutation in 23S rRNA responsible for resistance to 16-membered macrolides and streptogramins in Streptococcus pneumoniae.
abstract: Streptococcus pneumoniae clinical isolate BM4455 was resistant to 16-membered macrolides and to streptogramins. This unusual resistance phenotype was due to an A(2062)C (Escherichia coli numbering) mutation in domain V of the four copies of 23S rRNA.
