The tva(A) gene suspected to confer resistance to pleuromutilins in Brachyspira hyodysenteriae was tested for functionality in Escherichia coli AG100A and Staphylococcus aureus RN4220. Expression of the cloned tva(A) gene conferred decreased susceptibility to pleuromutilin (P) and streptogramin A (SA) antibiotics in E. coli and had a minor effect in S. aureus The finding provides evidence of the direct association of tva(A) with the PSA resistance phenotype.
