Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fluoroquinolone (FR) resistant Escherichia coli infection has become a global problem. The FR resistance usually occurs mainly due to specific point of mutations within the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) at the gyrA codon of Ser83 and Asp87 and the parC codon of Ser80 and Glu84. Here, we appraised type and frequency of the QRDR mutations in FR-resistant E. coli isolates, and...
