Abstract excerpt
The frequency of generation of multidrug-resistant mutants of Staphylococcus aureus was examined by selection with various antiseptics and fluoroquinolones and the mutated genes were characterized. Multidrug-resistant mutants with mutation of the region between the promoter and structural regions of the norA gene were generated more frequently during selective pressure with antiseptics than during selective...
