Abstract
Clinical isolates of 8 ofloxacin resistant Staphylococcus auresu (ORSA) were subjected to MIC test, Southern analysis on gyrA locus and nucleotide sequence analysis of 290 bp of gyrA gene (gyrA-290) spanning amino acid 26 to 121 in order to understand the mechanism of quinolone resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. ORSAs showed highlevel resistance against quinolones (8-250 fold increase of MICs) and also significant resistance agianst
Sataphylococcus aureus의 퀴놀론계 약물에 대한 내성 기착을 이해하고자 ofloxacin에 내성을 보이는 임상 채취 8 균주의 Sataphylococcus aureus (ORSA)에 대하여 MIC 검사, gyrA 유전자 부근의 Southern 분석 및 아미노산 26번에서 121번까지를 포함하는 290bp의 gyrA 유전자 일부(gyrA-290)의 염기 서열 분석을 행하였다. ORSA 들은 퀴놀론계 약물에 대하여 높은 수준의내성을 보였으며(8-250 배의 MIC 증가),
