The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of fluoroquinolone resistance and quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) mutations among Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates in the United States during the period of 2001-2002. A second objective was to examine the genetic relatedness of pneumococcal isolates with parC and/or gyrA mutations during the period of 1994-2002.
