“…On the other hand, in case of C. coli strains (n =16), 100% isolates were resistant to nalidixic acid (MIC, 32-128 µg/ml), ciprofloxacin (MIC, 4-128 µg/ml) and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim whereas 93.75% isolates were resistant to levofloxacin (MIC, 2-16 µg/ml) and ofloxacin (MIC, 4-32 µg/ml) followed by 62.5% were resistant to ampicillin (MIC, 16-32 µg/ml) and 43.75% were resistant to tetracycline (MIC, 128 µg/ml ) and one C. coli strains had the Thr 86 to Ile and Met 181 to Arg substitution in GyrA and the rest 15 strains had only Thr 86 to Ile substitution in GyrA (Table 6). For Campylobacter strains, high-level resistance to fluoroquinolones is mostly mediated by mutations within the QRDR of the gyrA gene, of which replacement of C256 with T leading to a Thr-86-Ile substitution in GyrA is predominant (Ge et al, 2003;Vacher et al, 2003;Payot et al, 2006;Bakeli et al, 2008).…”
