Analysis of 71 ciprofloxacin-resistant (MIC > or = 4 microg/ml) Streptococcus pneumoniae clinical isolates revealed only 1 for which the quinolone resistance-determining regions of the parC, parE, and gyrB genes were genetically related to those of viridans group streptococci. Our findings support the occurrence of interspecies recombination of type II topoisomerase genes; however, its contribution to the emergence of quinolone resistance among pneumococci appears to have been minimal.
对71株耐环丙沙星(最低抑菌浓度≥4微克/毫升)的肺炎链球菌临床分离株进行分析发现,只有1株分离株的parC、parE和gyrB基因的喹诺酮耐药决定区与草绿色链球菌的基因存在遗传关系。我们的研究结果支持II型拓扑异构酶基因种间重组的发生;然而,其对肺炎链球菌中喹诺酮耐药性出现的作用似乎很小。
