RESUMO

Four macrolide-resistant Arcanobacterium pyogenes isolates contained A2058T, A2058G, or C2611G (Escherichia coli numbering) mutations in their 23S rRNA genes. While these mutations conferred resistance to erythromycin, oleandomycin, and spiramycin, they did not confer resistance to tylosin.
