Preliminary investigations into fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli strains resistant to nalidixic acid isolated from animal faeces

Resistance to fluoroquinolones was evaluated in 17 nalidixic acid-resistant Escherichia coli strains isolated from animal faeces. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), hybridisation and sequencing were used to reveal point mutations in DNA gyrase subunits...
