Quinolone-resistance mutations in the topoisomerase IV parC gene of Acinetobacter baumannii
1 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the parC gene, which encodes a subunit of topoisomerase IV, were determined in 21 epidemiologically unrelated clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. Our studies highlight the conserved sequences in the quinolone-resistance-determining region of the parC gene from A. baumannii and other bacteria. Nine of ten isolates with MICs of ciprofloxacin of > or = 32 mg/L showed a change of Ser80 to Leu...
