Escherichia coli as Reservoir for Macrolide Resistance Genes. [Journal Article]
Emerg Infect Dis 2009 Oct; 15(10):1648-50.

The plasmid-borne mph(A) gene that confers resistance to azithromycin and has recently emerged in Shigella sonnei is present in multidrug- and non-multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolates from 4 continents. Further spread of mph(A) to Shigella and Salmonella spp. may be expected.
