Abstract excerpt
We investigated hypermutability in Klebsiella pneumoniae and its association with ciprofloxacin resistance and mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR). Sixty-four strains of K. pneumoniae isolated in London, UK, between 1995 and 2002 with widely differing ciprofloxacin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and known gyrA and parC sequences were tested for mutation frequencies by...
