Abstract excerpt
To understand the relationship between mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) of the gyrA gene and drug resistance to ofloxacin, 85 laboratory-selected ofloxacin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis mutant strains and 110 M. tuberculosis clinical isolates, screened by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography to contain mutations, were analysed for their mutation patterns by...
