Abstract excerpt
We have determined the DNA sequence of the gyrA gene of the fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli isolate 205096 (MIC of ciprofloxacin, 128 micrograms/ml), which was recently demonstrated to be a gyrA mutant (P. Heisig and B. Wiedemann, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 35:2031-2036, 1991). Compared with the gyrA+ gene of E. coli K-12, 55 nucleotide changes were found. Three of these resulted in amino acid...
