Abstract excerpt
In the present study, Brucella melitensis biovar Abortus 2308 and Brucella abortus 3196 biotype 5 reference strains, which are susceptible to fluoroquinolones, became in vitro-resistant to fluoroquinolones by culture in trypticase soy agar. The quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of the gyrA and parC genes of the two reference strains were analysed by polymerase chain reaction sequencing analysis to...
