Induction of Fibronectin-Binding Proteins and Increased Adhesion of Quinolone-Resistant<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>by Subinhibitory Levels of Ciprofloxacin
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
We recently reported that strain EN1252a, a fluoroquinolone-resistant derivative of Staphylococcus aureus NCTC8325 with mutations in grlA and gyrA, expressed increased levels of fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) and showed a significantly higher attachment to fibronectin-coated polymer surfaces after growth in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin. The present study evaluated the...
