title: New erm Gene in Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates.
abstract: We have identified erm(Y), a novel gene class that was originally designated ermGM, from a Staphylococcus aureus strain that has a plasmid that also harbors msr(A) and mph(C), genes that encode an efflux mechanism and a putative phosphorylase, respectively. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of erm(Y) were 81 and 76% identical to those of erm(T), respectively.
