16S rRNA Methyltransferase RmtC in Salmonella enterica Serovar Virchow
Investigation published in Emerging Infectious Diseases
April 1st, 2010
We screened Salmonella and Escherichia coli isolates, collected 2004–2008 in the United Kingdom, for 16S rRNA methyltransferases. rmtC was identified in S. enterica serovar Virchow isolates from clinical samples and food. All isolates were clonally related and bore the rmtC gene on the bacterial chromosome. Surveillance for and research on these resistance determinants are essential.
