(A) Microarray for the analysis of the drug resistance of RTI
causative agents. The biochip contained immobilized probes corresponding to the
species-specific polymorphism of the 16S rRNA gene, which were
used for the identification of microorganisms, and also probes specific to the
rrs, rrl, gyrA,
parC, mefA, mtrR,
nimB-G, penA, ponA,
porB, rpsJ, ntr4tv,
ntr6tv, blaSHV, blaTEM, and
tetM genes sequences, which act as determinants of resistance
of RTI causative agents to different AMD. The elements containing wild-type
oligonucleotides are circled in black. (B) The hybridization
pattern obtained by analyzing N. gonorrhoeae DNA contained the
following mutations: S91F+D95G in the gyrA gene (group 2),
-35delA in the promoter of the mtrR gene (group 3), insD345 in
the penA gene (group 4), and S87R in the parC
gene (group 10)
