Abstract:
The understanding of species distribution and inducible macrolide resistance in the Mycobacterium fortuitum complex (MFC) is limited. Of 90 mostly respiratory MFC clinical isolates, half were M. fortuitum , followed by M. peregrinum , M. porcinum , M. septicum , and M. conceptionense . Most M. fortuitum , M. por cinum , and M. septicum isolates were inducibly resistant to clarithromycin, whereas two-thirds of the M. peregrinum isolates were clarithromycin susceptible. Clarithromycin-resistant M. fortuitum isolates exhibited common mutations of erm (39), potentially involved in clarithromycin resistance.
