Abstract excerpt
To study 4-quinolone resistance, the N-terminal coding region of gyrA from nalidixic acid-susceptible and -resistant isolates of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 was amplified by PCR, cloned, and sequenced. DNA sequence analysis of gyrA from nalidixic acid-resistant isolates revealed a C-to-T transition at nucleotide position 248 leading to a Ser-83-to-Leu substitution which was absent in susceptible clinical...
