Abstract excerpt
We examined the potential for the development of fluoroquinolone resistance in Neisseria meningitidis by cultivating two clinical isolates of meningococci in the presence of concentrations of ciprofloxacin at and about the predetermined MIC. The quinolone resistance determining regions (QRDRs) of...
