Jalal S, Wretlind B
Abstract excerpt
Principal mechanisms of bacterial resistance to quinolones are modification of target enzymes, DNA gyrase (gyrA) and topoisomerase IV (parC), or reduction of intracellular concentration due to mutations in the regulatory genes for efflux systems, such as mexR and nfxB. We have examined gyrA, parC, mexR, and nfxB genes from 16 quinolone-resistant clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to determine the...
