This assay was not only accurate for the screening of fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance but also relevant as an early warning system for detecting preexisting single QRDR mutations., Journal of clinical microbiology, 44(12), pp.4553-4558; 2006}, pages = {4553--4558}, title = {Rapid screening of topoisomerase gene mutations by a novel melting curve analysis method for early warning of fluoroquinolone-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae emergence.}, volume = {44}, year = {2006} }
