A total of 201 Staphylococcus aureus isolates were surveyed for susceptibility to ciprofloxacin and trovafloxacin. Of 66 methicillin-resistant isolates, 89% were ciprofloxacin resistant and 6% were also trovafloxacin resistant. Trovafloxacin-resistant strains had unusual patterns of quinoline resistance mutations in DNA topoisomerase genes, including two mutations in the A subunit (encoded by grlA) of topoisomerase IV.
共对201株金黄色葡萄球菌分离株进行了环丙沙星和曲伐沙星敏感性检测。在66株耐甲氧西林的分离株中,89%对环丙沙星耐药,6%同时对曲伐沙星耐药。耐曲伐沙星菌株在DNA拓扑异构酶基因中具有不寻常的喹啉耐药突变模式,包括拓扑异构酶IV的A亚基(由grlA编码)中的两个突变。
