Title: Emergence of fluoroquinolone resistance in group B streptococcal isolates in Taiwan.

Authors: Wu HM, Janapatla RP, Ho YR, Hung KH, Wu CW, Yan JJ, Wu JJ.

Abstract: Of 1,994 group B streptococcal isolates collected, 26 (1.3%) of the isolates were resistant to levofloxacin, and cross-resistance to other fluoroquinolones was observed. The emergence and prevalence of high-level fluoroquinolone resistance in genetically unrelated isolates were linked to the presence of gyrA, parC, and parE triple mutations in each isolate.
