Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between amino acid mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) of Staphylococcus epidermidis and its susceptibility to fluoroquinolones, as well as the potential of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping for rapid detection of resistant strains. Thirty-three S. epidermidis strains were analyzed (25 from preoperative...
