Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how Mycoplasma bovis develops resistance to macrolide antibiotics tylosin (Ty) and tilmicosin (Tm) by analyzing genetic mutations in rRNA and ribosomal proteins.
- Key mutations in the 23S rRNA were found to correlate with decreased susceptibility to these antibiotics, indicating that multiple mutations may be required for higher levels of resistance, particularly for Ty.
- Additionally, while amino acid changes were observed in ribosomal proteins, their significance in relation to resistance was unclear, marking this research as a new contribution to understanding macrolide resistance mechanisms in M. bovis.
