causes respiratory infections. In this study, fluoroquinolone-resistant strains were selected to evaluate the mechanism of fluoroquinolone resistance. Strains with reduced fluoroquinolone susceptibility were obtained by stepwise selection in levofloxacin, and fluoroquinolone targets and were sequenced. Six novel mutations in GyrA (D84Y, T594dup, and A722dup), GyrB (E479K and D439N), and ParE (Q395R) involved in resistance to fluoroquinolones were revealed.
导致呼吸道感染。在这项研究中,选择了氟喹诺酮类耐药菌株,以评估氟喹诺酮类耐药的机制。通过逐步选择左氧氟沙星获得了对氟喹诺酮类敏感性降低的菌株,并对氟喹诺酮类靶点和进行了测序。在 GyrA(D84Y、T594dup 和 A722dup)、GyrB(E479K 和 D439N)和 ParE(Q395R)中发现了涉及氟喹诺酮类耐药的六个新突变。
