Usage examples
  • SCAN also notes that some experiments on mice have shown that in vivo transfer of erythromycin resistance from enterococci to other bacteria is possible. It also specifies that erythromycin-resistant animal enterococci may colonise humans for a longer or shorter time period or may transfer their macrolide-resistance genes to the resident bacterial flora of humans, notably to human bacteria such as staphylococci or group A streptococci, which would constitute a clinical problem in human medicine, either directly after ingestion or via gene exchange in the environment, but that the frequencies of such transfers cannot be estimated.
