Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the molecular mechanism of quinolone-resistance of M. tuberculosis and characterize the gene mutation in Sichuan Province. METHODS: Susceptibility of the clinical isolates to quinolones (ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and sparfloxacin) was tested by the absolute concentration method. GyrA gene quinolone reasistance-determining region (QRDR) mutations M. tuberculosis were detected with PCR-SSCP...
