The incidence of the various mutations in the genes encoding topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase in fluoroquinolone-resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus is not known. Using restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and DNA sequencing, we found that in fluoroquinolone- and methicillin-resistant strains, mutations in grlA and gyrA are quite likely to be present together. For fluoroquinolone-resistant but methicillin-susceptible strains, mutations in grlA alone are more common.
耐氟喹诺酮金黄色葡萄球菌临床分离株中,编码拓扑异构酶IV和DNA促旋酶的基因发生各种突变的发生率尚不清楚。通过限制性片段长度多态性分析和DNA测序,我们发现,在耐氟喹诺酮和耐甲氧西林菌株中,grlA和gyrA突变很可能同时存在。对于耐氟喹诺酮但对甲氧西林敏感的菌株,单独的grlA突变更为常见。
