Abstract excerpt
The activity of three new, 8-methoxy-nonfluorinated quinolones (NFQs) against multiple-drug-resistant staphylococci was investigated. First, using Staphylococcus aureus strains containing point mutations in the serine 84-80 hot spots of the target genes (gyrA and grlA), cell growth inhibition potencies of the NFQs as a result of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV inhibition were estimated and compared with those of...
