Characterization of the quinolone resistant determining regions in clinical isolates of pneumococci collected in Canada.

Annals of clinical microbiology and antimicrobials - 18 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to examine Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates collected from a longitudinal surveillance program in order to determine their susceptibility to currently used fluoroquinolones and of the frequency and type of mutations in the quinolone-resistant determining regions (QRDRs) of their parC and gyrA genes. METHODS: The Canadian Bacterial Surveillance Network has been...
