Rapid Identification of Mutations in Quinolone-Resistant Shigella Isolates by Scanning of gyrA and parC Genes using High-Resolution Melting Curve Analysis

Objectives: Mutations in the quinolone resistance–determining regions (QRDRs) of the topoisomerase genes are considered to be a primary mechanism of quinolone and fluoroquinolone resistance. The objective of this study was to identify the most common gyrA and parC mutations in Shigella spp., with th...
