Abstract excerpt
The norA gene, which is located on the chromosome of Staphylococcus aureus, encodes the multidrug efflux protein with 12 transmembrane segments (TMS), and the overexpression of norA by the mutation of the transcriptional control region confers resistance to fluoroquinolones and antiseptics. In this study, the nucleotide sequence and transcriptional expression of norA genes were studied in six standard laboratory...
