Abstract excerpt
The gyrase mutations and efflux pumps confer fluoroquinolones (FQ) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, the contribution of two mechanisms in FQ mono-resistant M. tuberculosis is still unclear. Here, we investigated the contribution of gyrase mutations and efflux pumps to FQ resistance among 17 clinical FQ mono-resistant strains. Our data showed that gyrase mutations in gyrA QRDR were only...
