Abstract excerpt
Resistant mutants of Mycoplasma gallisepticum were selected in vitro by passaging strains 10 times in increasing concentrations of enrofloxacin. The regions of gyrA/gyrB and parC/parE, encoding the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV, respectively, of the mutants obtained during different passages were sequenced. Several mutations were found in the four...
