Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To correlate gyrA mutations found on the Genotype MTBDRsl assay in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates with Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) to the fluoroquinolones compounds ofloxacin (OFX) and moxifloxacin (MXF). METHODS: MICs for OFX and MXF were ascertained for 93 archived clinical MTB isolates that showed gyrA mutations at Ala90Val, Ser91Pro, Asp94Ala, Asn/Tyr, Gly and His. Thirty...
