dc.description.abstract <p>In this work we conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments to examine the development and mechanisms of erythromycin (Ery) resistance in <em>Campylobacter jejuni</em> and <em>Campylobacter coli</em>. In vitro plating revealed that both <em>Campylobacter</em> species had similar but low spontaneous mutation frequencies (3 × 10<sup>−9</sup> to −10) for Ery resistance. Chickens infected with <em>C. jejuni</em> or <em>C. coli</em> were subjected to single or multiple treatments with medicated water containing tylosin (0.53 g/liter), which transiently reduced the level of <em>Campylobacter</em> colonization but did not select for Ery-resistant (Ery<sup>r</sup>) mutants in the treated birds. However, when tylosin was given to the chickens in feed at a growth-promoting dose (0.05 g/kg feed), Ery<sup>r</sup> mutants emerged in the birds after prolonged exposure to the antibiotic. The vast majority of the in vitro- and in vivo-selected <em>Campylobacter</em> mutants with Ery MICs of 8 to 256 μg/ml lacked the known resistance-associated mutations in the 23S rRNA gene, while the highly resistant mutants (Ery MIC > 512 μg/ml) had the A2074G mutation in the 23S rRNA gene. Inactivation of CmeABC, a multidrug efflux pump, dramatically reduced the Ery MIC in all of the examined mutants regardless of the presence of the A2074G mutation. Together, these results reveal distinct features associated with Ery resistance development in <em>Campylobacter</em>, demonstrate the significant role of CmeABC in Ery resistance, and suggest that long-term use of a macrolide as a growth promoter selects for the emergence of Ery<sup>r</sup> <em>Campylobacter</em> in animal reservoirs.</p>
