Predominance of clarithromycin-susceptible subspecies: Characterization of the complex at a tertiary acute care hospital Free

Abstract

To characterize members of the complex, with an emphasis on the correlation between species identification and clarithromycin associated genetic polymorphisms that contribute to inducible and constitutive macrolide resistance. PCR and sequencing analysis was used to elucidate the subspecies, (41) genotypes and the presence of mutations. subsp. was the dominant subspecies (70.2 %), followed by subsp. (23.8 %) and subsp. (5.9 %). The majority of and isolates possessed T28 (41) sequevar and were inducibly resistant to clarithromycin. All carried the truncated (41) and were largely clarithromycin-susceptible (98.3 %). Constitutive resistance involving mutations was rare and seen in only 2 isolates (2.2 %). Subspecies identification was insufficient to predict clarithromycin susceptibility and required the genetic resistance to be determined via sequencing. In our context, mutations were uncommon and may not be an essential test.
