Abstract excerpt
Ten quinolone-resistant mutants of Citrobacter freundii, which were selected in vitro with fluoroquinolones from two clinical isolates, were studied. The parent isolates were susceptible to quinolones in spite of showing a single substitution in the GyrB (His-417 --> Leu). No change was observed in the outer membrane proteins or in the lipopolysaccharide in any of the ten mutants studied with respect to their...
