Identification of Mycobacterial Species by PCR Sequencing of Quinolone Resistance-Determining Regions of DNA Gyrase Genes
1 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
The determination of the amino acid sequence of quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) in the A and B subunits of DNA gyrase is the molecular test for the detection of fluoroquinolone resistance in mycobacteria. We looked to see if the assignment of mycobacterial species could be obtained simultaneously by analysis of the corresponding nucleotide sequences. PCR sequencing of gyrA and gyrB QRDRs was...
