Genetic Characterization of Highly Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Clinical <i>Escherichia coli</i> Strains from China: Role of <i>acrR</i> Mutations
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
The genetic basis for fluoroquinolone resistance was examined in 30 high-level fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli clinical isolates from Beijing, China. Each strain also demonstrated resistance to a variety of other antibiotics. PCR sequence analysis of the quinolone resistance-determining region of the topoisomerase genes (gyrA/B, parC) revealed three to five mutations known to be associated with...
