Abstract excerpt
We searched for the mutations involved in high-level fluoroquinolone resistance (ciprofloxacin MIC > or = 8 microg/ml) of 11 clinical isolates of Escherichia coli. trans-Complementation tests with the wild-type gyrA and parC genes were positive for all strains whereas negative results were observed with the wild-type gyrB and parE genes. By PCR and sequencing, two mutations in gyrA, leading to Ser-83 --> Leu and...
