Garenoxacin had a significantly greater potency against pneumococci, including strains containing topoisomerase mutations. Genetic analysis of the S. pneumoniae mutants created by garenoxacin revealed that the gyrA gene was a primary target of garenoxacin., Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy, 53(8), pp.3572-3575; 2009}, pages = {3572--3575}, title = {In vitro activity of garenoxacin against Streptococcus pneumoniae mutants with characterized resistance mechanisms.}, volume = {53}, year = {2009} }
