Abstract

For 29 parent strains, recognized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, the MICs multiplied significantly in the ciprofloxacin group than levofloxacin group, following the first and third induction cycle. Ser83Arg in GyrA was the most common site of mutations. No mutation in ParC nor ParE was identified in the selected mutants.
