The objective of this study was to identify the Quinolone/Fluoroquinolone resistance genes from staphylo-cocci strains isolated in hospitals. A total of 51 strains of Staphylococci were isolated, including 16 (31.37%) community strains, and 35 (68.62%) clinical strains. 46 strains of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and 5 SCNs were identified. A total of 34 DNA fragments from different strains resistant to Quinolones/Fluoroquinolones, including 21 (61.67%) DNA fragments from clinical S. aureus and 13 (38.23%) from community SCN strains were analyzed by the molecular method (genotypic detection) by PCR. The genotypic results made it possible to identify the gyrA, grLA and norA genes and to show that these genes are involved in the resistance of the strains to the various antibiotics used. The grLA gene was the most identified gene with a frequency of 75%. The gyrA and grLA genes have been identified in Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase Negative Staphy-lococci. The norA gene, on the other hand, has only been identified in Staphylococcus aureus. Two mechanisms are essentially involved in the resistance of Staphylococci to quinolones/Fluoroquinolones, the mecha-nism of resistance by efflux, which takes place thanks to a transmembrane protein coded by the norA gene and by point mutations (substitution and deletion of acids or nucleotides) observed within the protein and nucleic sequences of the chromosomal gyrA and grLA genes.展开更多

METHODS Major literature databases(Pub Med, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) were searched for relevant articles published prior to February 2018. We performed a meta-analysis of all randomized clinical trials that examined the efficacy of h. pylori eradication therapies and included fourthgeneration quinolones in the experimental arm. Subgroup analyses by regions and different types of fourth-generation quinolones were also performed.RESULTS Ten studies including a total of 2198 patients were assessed. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials showed that the eradication rate of therapies containing non-fourth-generation quinolones was significantly lower than that of therapies containing fourth-generation quinolones by intention-to-treat(ITT) analysis [75.4% vs 81.8%; odds ratio(OR) = 0.661; 95% confidence interval(CI): 0.447-0.977; P = 0.038]. This analysis also showed that the eradication rate of the therapies containing non-fourth-generation quinolones was inferior to that of therapies containing fourth-generation quinolones by perprotocol analysis(79.1% vs 84.7%; OR = 0.663; 95%CI: 0.433-1.016; P = 0.059). Moreover, the occurrence of side effects was significantly different between the control and experimental groups by ITT analysis(30.6% vs 19.5%; OR = 1.874; 95%CI: 1.120-3.137; P = 0.017). The sub-analyses also showed significant differences in moxifloxacin therapies vs other fourth-generation quinolone therapies(84.3% vs 71.9%) and in Asian vs European groups(76.7% vs 89.1%).CONCLUSION Therapies containing fourth-generation quinolones achieved a poor eradication rate in the treatment of h. pylori infection. Such regimens might be useful as a rescue treatment based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Different antibiotics should be chosen in different regions.展开更多

The general synthetic method of 4-alkyl-2-quinolones is the reaction of aryl amines with β-ketoesters to form β-ketoamides, which are then heated in concentrated sulfuric acid to complete the ring closure.

The results show that 1-octanol/water partition coefficient of each quinolone increased with the increase of temperature. Based on the fluid phase equilibrium theory, the thermodynamic relationship of 1-octanol/water partition coefficient depending on the temperature was proposed, and the changes of enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy for quinolones partitioning in 1-octanol/water were determined, respectively. Quinolones molecules partitioning in 1-octanol/water was mainly an entropy driving process, during which the order degree of system decreased. The temperature effects of 1-octanol/water partition coefficient were investigated. The results show that its magnitude is the same as the values in the literature.展开更多

This method simplified the complicated process of sample pretreatment and reduced sample treatment time. Recovery of the quinolones was between 92% - 101% for spiked honey samples. The limit of detection was 0.22 - 3.78 ng/mL (signal/noise ratio = 3). There was good linear correlation between HPLC peak area and concentration of the quinolones, with a linear range of 1.0 - 100.0 ng/mL and correlation coefficients >0.9997. The method proposed was validated for detecting quinolones in honey samples.展开更多

The susceptibilities of the S .flexneri strains to quinolones were measured by the disk-diffusion method. It was found that most S .flexneri strains were susceptible to norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin, but resistant to nalidixic acid. To study the correlation between gyrA mutations and quinolones resistance, a fragment within the gyrA gene was amplified by PCR. The SSCP （Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism） analysis was applied to detect mutations in PCR products of different strains. The mutations were then confirmed by DNA sequencing. Altogether, two types of mutation were revealed, in which one type was single mutation （ C42-T）, and the other was double mutations （ C42-T and A54- G）. By statistical analysis, C42-T （encoding Ser83-keu substitution） was shown to have correlation with nalidixic-acid resistance in the clinical strains of Shigella, while A54-G （encoding Asp87-Gly substitution） was shown to have correlations with both norfloxacin resistance and ciprofloxacin resistance.展开更多
