In Vivo Increase in Resistance to Ciprofloxacin in Escherichia coli Associated with Deletion of the C-Terminal Part of MarR

Abstract excerpt

We recovered two isolates (EP1 and EP2) of Escherichia coli from the same patient that had identical pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns but required different MICs of ciprofloxacin (CIP): 16 and 256 mg/liter for EP1 and EP2, respectively. Both isolates had mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions of GyrA (Ser83Leu and Asp87Tyr) and ParC (Ser80Ile), but not in those regions of GyrB or ParE....
