OBJECTIVES To investigate the impact of low levels of fluoroquinolone resistance on the emergence of resistant mutants, we examined the mutant selection window (MSW) hypothesis in experimental pneumonia in rabbits infected with pneumococci with various susceptibility levels to fluoroquinolones and treated with gatifloxacin using a human-like regimen (equivalent to 400 mg once daily). The MSW co...
We investigated the roles of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV in determining the susceptibility of Streptococcus pneumoniae to gemifloxacin, a novel fluoroquinolone which is under development as an antipneumococcal drug. Gemifloxacin displayed potent activity against S. pneumoniae 7785 (MIC, 0.06 microgram/ml) compared with ciprofloxacin (MIC, 1 to 2 microgram/ml). Complementary genetic and bioc...
Point mutations conferring resistance to fluoroquinolones were introduced in the gyr genes of the reference strain Clostridium difficile 630. Only mutants with the substitution Thr-82→Ile in GyrA, which characterizes the hypervirulent epidemic clone III/027/NAP1, were resistant to all fluoroquinolones tested. The absence of a fitness cost in vitro for the most frequent mutations detected in res...
Twelve quinolone-resistant clinical isolates of Escherichia coli (nalidixic acid MICs, 64 to 512 micrograms/ml; norfloxacin MICs, 0.25 to 8 micrograms/ml) were transformed with plasmid pJSW101 carrying the gyrA+ gene and with plasmid pJB11 carrying the gyrB+ gene to examine the proportion of gyrA and gyrB mutations. Transformation with pJSW101 resulted in complementation (nalidixic acid MICs, 4...
a molecule-dependent target specifi city: mutations in parC are generally selected by pefl oxacin, ciprofl oxacin, and levofl oxacin, and those in gyrA are selected by sparfl oxacin, gatifl oxacin, moxifl oxacin, gemifl oxacin, and garenoxacin (5). In second-step mutants, mutations are present in both parC and gyrA and confer resistance to the antistreptococcal FQs levofl oxacin, moxifl oxacin,...
Gatifloxacin (GAT) is a new 8-methoxy fluoroquinolone with enhanced activity against gram-positive cocci. Its activity was studied in an in vitro pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model against five Staphylococcus aureus strains, either susceptible to ciprofloxacin or exhibiting various levels and mechanisms of ciprofloxacin (CIP) resistance: the ATCC 25923 reference strain (MICs of CIP and GAT: ...
The increased Salmonella resistance to quinolones and fluoroquinolones is a public health concern in the Southeast Asian region. The objective of this study is to develop a high resolution melt curve (HRM) assay to rapidly screen for mutations in quinolone-resistant determining region (QRDR) of gyrase and topoisomerase IV genes. DNA sequencing was performed on 62 Salmonella strains to identify ...
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES There is a worldwide emergence of fluoroquinolone resistance in Shigella species. To understand the molecular mechanisms associated with fluoroquinolone resistance, naturally occurring fluoroquinolone-resistant strains and laboratory-induced spontaneous mutants of Shigella spp. were used and the relative contributions of acrAB-tolC efflux pumps, gyrase and topoisomerase ...
For some pneumococci the fluoroquinolone MICs are low but the mutant prevention concentrations (MPCs) are high; this difference defines in vitro the mutant selection window (MSW). We investigated in vivo the bacterial reduction and the occurrence of resistant mutants with moxifloxacin (MFX; 400 mg once daily) or levofloxacin (LVX; 500 mg twice daily) in treatments similar to those in humans wit...
Type II topoisomerases, including DNA gyrase (GyrA) and topoisomerase IV (ParC), contribute to fluoroquinolone resistance in Enterococcus spp. This study investigated the mutational status of quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) GyrA ParC clinical isolates enterococci from a hospital Baotou, China. We analyzed 110 enterococcal isolates, 57 faecalis 53 faecium. The rates E. faecium c...
