We have reported that the gene mph(C) (formally referred to as 'mphBM') is located on plasmid pMS97 342 bp downstream of the msr(A) gene. msr(A) specifies resistance to macrolides by ABC-transporter-mediated efflux, and mph(C) has 49% identity to the amino acid sequence of MPH(2')II, which encodes a phosphotransferase that inactivates some macrolide antibiotics. A strain of Staphylococcus aureus NCTC8325 containing plasmid pMS97 inactivated unlabeled and (14)C-labeled erythromycin when tested by bioautographic and radioautographic techniques. In addition to erythromycin, other 14-membered ring macrolides (except for ketolides), 15-membered ring macrolides and 16-membered ring macrolides, mycinamicin, rosamicin and YM133, were inactivated by the strain. Erythromycin inactivation products produced by the strain carrying pMS97 were completely different from those produced by Escherichia coli BM694 bearing plasmid pAT63, which contains the ereA gene encoding an esterase that hydrolyzes macrolide lactones. Constructs formed with the msr(A) and mph(C) genes, and with the msr(A), mph(C) and erm(Y) genes, showed erythromycin-inactivating activity, but another construct built with the mph(C) gene alone failed to show such activity. This result suggests that any region of the msr(A) gene is needed for the expression of mph(C).

YM133, the 4"-O-(4-methoxyphenyl)acetyltylosin, is a new macrolide. The in vitro activity of YM133 was compared with those of erythromycin, josamycin, and rokitamycin by an agar dilution method. YM133 inhibited 90% of the tested isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Legionella spp., and anaerobic bacteria at less than or equal to 1.56 micrograms/ml. The drug inhibited 90% of erythromycin-resistant staphylococci and Streptococcus pyogenes at less than or equal to 50 micrograms/ml. YM133 showed activity against erythromycin-, josamycin-, and rokitamycin-resistant (MIC greater than or equal to 100 micrograms/ml) strains of staphylococci, streptococci, Bacteroides spp., and Clostridium spp. Enterococci were less susceptible to other YM133-like macrolides. Unlike other macrolides, YM133 showed killing activity, and the MBC/MIC ratios of YM133 for several strains were 1:32, whereas those of erythromycin were 4:1,024. In a time-kill curve study, the reduction of viable cells started within 2 h after the addition of YM133.
