Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the development of fluoroquinolone resistance among Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates in Japan and the frequency and patterns of mutations involving the GyrA and ParC proteins, which confer quinolone resistance to the bacteria, in isolates. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Antimicrobial susceptibilities of 145 gonococcal isolates, including 79 isolated from February 1992 through February 1993 and 66...
