Abstract excerpt
Artificial mutations of Gyrase A protein (GyrA) in Escherichia coli by site-directed mutagenesis were generated to analyze quinolone-resistant mechanisms. By genetic analysis of gyrA genes in a gyrA temperature sensitive (Ts) background, exchange of Ser at the NH2-terminal 83rd position of GyrA to Trp, Leu, Phe, Tyr, Ala, Val, and Ile caused bacterial resistance to the quinolones, while exchange to Gly, Asn, Lys,...
