Abstract

Twenty isolates resistant to seven quinolones were isolated from major rivers in Korea. All isolates had three mutations, Ser83 $\rightarrow$ Leu and Asp87 $\rightarrow$ Asn in GyrA and Ser80 $\rightarrow$ Ile or Ser80 $\rightarrow$ Arg in ParC and three isolates had an additional mutation Glu84 $\rightarrow$ Gly or Glu84 $\rightarrow$ Val in ParC. In addition, a clonal spread was not found in these isolates.
