Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The NorA efflux pump in Staphylococcus aureus mediates resistance to many fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics. Three norA alleles with high sequence similarity are found in various S. aureus strains exhibiting different FQ resistance profiles. This study aimed to elucidate the underlying molecular basis for the varying efflux activity of these three allelic variations. METHODS: The norA genotypes of 20...
