Role of Efflux Pumps and Mutations in Genes for Topoisomerases II and IV in Fluoroquinolone-Resistant <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Strains
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the occurrence of mutations in topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) subunit B(gyrB) and topoisomerase IV subunit E(parE) and the hyperexpression of genes for four efflux pump proteins in 20 previously described, fluoroquinolone-resistant clinical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Amino acid alterations were found in GyrB in five strains and in ParE in three strains with MIC of norfloxacin > or = 8...
