Mutants of wild-type Streptococcus pneumoniae IID553 with mutations in parC were obtained by selection with trovafloxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin. All of the parC mutants were cross-resistant to the selecting agents but were not resistant to gatifloxacin and sparfloxacin. On the other hand, gyrA mutants were isolated by selection with gatifloxacin and sparfloxacin. The gyrA mutants were cross-resistant to gatifloxacin and sparfloxacin but were not resistant to the other fluoroquinolones tested. These results suggest that in wild-type S. pneumoniae the primary target of trovafloxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin is topoisomerase IV, whereas the primary target of gatifloxacin and sparfloxacin is DNA gyrase.
通过使用曲伐沙星、左氧氟沙星、诺氟沙星和环丙沙星进行筛选,获得了野生型肺炎链球菌IID553中parC发生突变的突变体。所有parC突变体对筛选药物均具有交叉耐药性,但对加替沙星和司帕沙星不耐药。另一方面,通过使用加替沙星和司帕沙星进行筛选分离出了gyrA突变体。gyrA突变体对加替沙星和司帕沙星具有交叉耐药性,但对所测试的其他氟喹诺酮类药物不耐药。这些结果表明,在野生型肺炎链球菌中,曲伐沙星、左氧氟沙星、诺氟沙星和环丙沙星的主要靶点是拓扑异构酶IV,而加替沙星和司帕沙星的主要靶点是DNA旋转酶。
