Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus(SA) and the mechanisms of its resistance to fluoroquinolones (FQ). METHODS: The susceptibility of SA (200 strains) to 12 antibiotics was detected by disc diffusion, The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 52 strains to three FQ were determined by agar dilution method. 52 strains resistant to ciprofloxacin (MIC> or =4 mg/L) were studied for...
