Abstract
Novel polymorphisms of prokaryotic topoisomerase type II Gyr A, Gyr B and parC gene loci are provided. These polymorphisms differentiate very closely related organisms and provide a means to identify pathogenicity and drug resistance. For example, drug resistance such as resistance to methicillin, a drug which is not metabolically tied to topoisomerase function, may be determined by polymorphisms in the Gyrase A locus. Identification of such drug resistance by such unrelated loci is indicative of heretofore unrecognized [sub]species of
