Prevalence of a Putative Efflux Mechanism among Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Clinical Isolates of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
Twenty-three norfloxacin-selected first-step mutants of Streptococcus pneumoniae showed low-level fluoroquinolone resistance. Their susceptibility to norfloxacin in the presence or absence of reserpine and known efflux pump substrates was determined by an agar dilution method. Five mutants showed four- to eightfold increases in their susceptibility to norfloxacin in the presence of reserpine and four- to...
