  • Title: First characterization of fluoroquinolone resistance in Streptococcus suis.
    Author: Escudero JA, San Millan A, Catalan A, de la Campa AG, Rivero E, Lopez G, Dominguez L, Moreno MA, Gonzalez-Zorn B.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 2007 Feb; 51(2):777-82. PubMed ID: 17116660.
    Abstract:
    We have identified and sequenced the genes encoding the quinolone-resistance determining region (QRDR) of ParC and GyrA in fluoroquinolone-susceptible and -resistant Streptococcus suis clinical isolates. Resistance is the consequence of single point mutations in the QRDRs of ParC and GyrA and is not due to clonal spread of resistant strains or horizontal gene transfer with other bacteria.
