Abstract excerpt
Ciprofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone, is a bactericidal antibiotic targeting DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV encoded by the gyrA and parC genes. Resistance to fluoroquinolones requires the accumulation of multiple mutations including those that alter target genes and increase drug efflux. To examine the development of fluoroquinolones resistance in Vibrio parahaemolyticus, ciprofloxacin induction...
