Genetic mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region are related to changes in the epidemiological profile of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates

ConclusionThis study highlights an increase in the number and types of mutations in the QRDRs ofgyrA and parC associated with high fluoroquinolones MICs that may be related to changes in the epidemiological profile of MRSA isolates from hospitals in Rio de Janeiro.
