Abstract excerpt
Fluoroquinolone-resistant mutants were obtained in vitro from Staphylococcus aureus RN4220 by stepwise selection on increasing concentrations of ciprofloxacin. Results from sequence analysis of the quinolone resistance-determining region of GyrA and of the corresponding region of GrlA, the DNA topoisomerase IV subunit, showed an alteration of Ser-80 to Tyr (corresponding to Ser-83 of Escherichia coli GyrA) or...
