In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Alloscardovia omnicolens and molecular mechanisms of acquired resistance.

All the 31 isolates of Alloscardovia omnicolens exhibited low MICs for β-lactams, glycopeptides, linezolid, tetracyclines, and cotrimoxazole. One strain showed MICs ≥256 μg/mL for both erythromycin and clindamycin with a single point mutation in 23S rRNA. One strain likely had acquired fluoroquinolone resistance associated with a unique mutation in ParC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
