Screening for the erm(42), msr(E), and mph(E) genes was carried out using multiplex PCR in all cases. Strains 3358 and 3361 have been characterized by whole-genome sequencing (3, 4). Class 1 strains with only the erm(42) gene are shown in italic type. Class 2 strains with the msr(E) and mph(E) genes are shown on a gray background. Class 3 strains with the erm(42), msr(E), and mph(E) genes are shown in boldface type on a gray background. Strains containing none of the three macrolide resistance genes are not highlighted by italic or boldface type or by a gray background.
The lane numbers are the same as for the gels in Fig. 1.
MICs for tildipirosin (TIP), tulathromycin (TUL), tilmicosin (TIL), and gamithromycin (GAM) are shown. The MICs were measured according to CSLI standards (2); E. coli ATCC 25922 (TIP MICs, 8 to 16 μg/ml; TUL MICs, 4 to 16 μg/ml; TIL MICs, 128 to >128 μg/ml; GAM MICs, 8 to 16 μg/ml) and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 (TIP MICs, 8 to 16 μg/ml; TUL MICs, 4 to 8 μg/ml; TIL MICs, 1 to 2 μg/ml; GAM MICs, 1 to 2 μg/ml) were included as quality control reference strains.
