Abstract excerpt
A fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based assay has been employed to detect mutations at the 86 codon in the DNA gyrase A (gyrA) gene in Campylobacter coli strains. These mutations were associated with ciprofloxacin resistance in strains isolated in Italy in 2000. The mutations in the gyrA gene were detected by real-time PCR amplification followed by hybridization with two fluorescent probes designed with...
