  • Title: New real-time PCR assay using locked nucleic acid probes to assess prevalence of ParC mutations in fluoroquinolone-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from France.
    Author: Decousser JW, Methlouthi I, Pina P, Collignon A, Allouch P, ColBVH Study Group.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 2006 Apr; 50(4):1594-8. PubMed ID: 16569894.
    Abstract:
    A real-time PCR assay with locked nucleic acid probes was developed to screen mutations at codons 79 and 83 of the Streptococcus pneumoniae parC gene. Only silent mutations were detected among 236 French invasive fluoroquinolone-susceptible strains. This test could be useful for some high-risk patients or in national surveys.
