Inducible Mega-Mediated Macrolide Resistance Confers Heteroresistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae

In Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn), the 5.4 to 5.5 kb Macrolide Genetic Assembly (Mega) encodes an efflux pump (Mef[E]) and a ribosomal protection protein (Mel) conferring antibiotic resistance to commonly used macrolides in clinical isolates. We found the macrolide-inducible Mega operon provides het...
