Prevalence of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin resistant lactic acid bacteria isolated from food samples.

ABSTRACT: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) being a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes, tend to disseminate antibiotic resistance that possibly pose a threat to human and animal health. Therefore, the study focuses on the prevalence of macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin- (MLS) resistance among LAB isolated from various food samples. Diverse phenotypic and genotypic MLS resistance were determined among the LAB species (n = 146) isolated from fermented food products (n = 6) and intestine of food-producing animals (n = 4). Double disc, triple disc diffusion and standard minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests were evaluated for phenotypic MLS resistance. Specific primers for MLS resistance genes were used for the evaluation of genotypic MLS resistance and gene expressions using total RNA of each i
