In addition resistant to other classes of antimicrobial drugs such as aminoglycosides, ansamycins, fluoroquinolones, folate pathway inhibitors, fucidanes, glycopeptides, glycylcyclines, lincosamides, lipopeptides, macrolides, oxazolidinones, phenicols, phosphonic acids, streptogramins, and tetracycline. |
