Analysis of mutations to gyrA in quinolone-resistant clinical isolates of Enterobacter cloacae. 1999

Christine Dekitsch, and Robert Schein, and Effi Markopulos, and Beatrix Kuen, and Wolfgang Graninger, and Apostolos Georgopoulos

The gyrA subgenes of a quinolone-resistant Enterobacter cloacae clinical isolate (ofloxacin MIC, 16 mg/L) and of a control, E. cloacae NCTC 10005 (ofloxacin MIC, 0.03 mg/L), were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. The resistant isolate had mutations at the codons for amino acids 83, 89 and 90. The first of these mutations led to replacement of serine-83 by tyrosine, whereas the other mutations were silent. Digestion of PCR-amplified DNA fragments with the restriction enzyme HinfI detected mutations at the same site in gyrA in six further quinolone resistant E. cloacae isolates.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE). Codon, Sense,Sense Codon,Codons,Codons, Sense,Sense Codons
D004250 DNA Topoisomerases, Type II DNA TOPOISOMERASES that catalyze ATP-dependent breakage of both strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strands through the breaks, and rejoining of the broken strands. These enzymes bring about relaxation of the supercoiled DNA and resolution of a knotted circular DNA duplex.
