- Abstract
The article discusses a research study on the treatment of severe pneumonia by isolating Legionella pneumophila strain that resisted ciprofloxacin. Topics discussed include DNA gyrase sequencing, Legionella pneumophila DNA extraction, mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region of Legionella pneumophila type II toposiomerase, and possibilities of resistance in the clinical isolate.
