To determine if susceptibility testing of Streptococcus pneumoniae could detect those isolates that had one of the recognized mechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance, 101 isolates were selected; the levofloxacin MIC for 28 of these isolates was > or =4 microg/ml. Only isolates with both parC and gyrA mutations or with no recognized resistance mechanisms were reliably identified by using these results. Isolates with only a parC mutation could not be detected reliably using any susceptibility testing method.
为了确定肺炎链球菌的药敏试验能否检测出具有公认氟喹诺酮耐药机制之一的分离株,选取了101株分离株;其中28株分离株的左氧氟沙星最低抑菌浓度(MIC)≥4μg/ml。只有同时具有parC和gyrA突变或没有公认耐药机制的分离株才能通过这些结果可靠地鉴定出来。使用任何药敏试验方法都无法可靠地检测出仅具有parC突变的分离株。
