Incidence of various gyrA mutants in 451 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated in Japan and their susceptibilities to 10 fluoroquinolones
1 Jul 1995
Abstract excerpt
Point mutations in the gyrA genes of 451 clinical strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated in Japan were detected by a combination of nonradioisotopic single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and by direct sequencing. Six types of gyrA mutations were observed in 149 of the 451 strains (33%), and ofloxacin MICs were greater than 6.25 micrograms/ml for...
