Abstract
Fluoroquinolone-resistant avian Escherichia coli isolates from northern Geo rgia were investigated for gyrA and parC mutations. All isolates contained a mutation in GgrA replacing Ser83 with Leu; seven isolates also contained mutations replacing Asp87 with either Gly or Tyr. Random amplified polymorp hic DNA analysis revealed that quinolone-resistant E. coli isolates were ge netically diverse.
