Moraxella catarrhalis causes respiratory infections. In this study, fluoroquinolone-resistant strains were selected in vitro to evaluate the mechanism of fluoroquinolone resistance. Strains with reduced fluoroquinolone susceptibility were obtained by stepwise selection in levofloxacin, and fluoroquinolone targets, gyr and par, were sequenced. Six novel mutations in GyrA (D84Y, T594dup, and A722dup), GyrB (E479K and D439N), and ParE (Q395R) involved in M. catarrhalis resistance to fluoroquinolones were revealed.
