A new type of norfloxacin-mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO was isolated. This mutant showed cross resistance to imipenem and chloramphenicol and hypersusceptibility to .beta.-lactam and aminoglycoside antibiotics. The new norfloxacin resistance gene nfxC was mapped hear catA (46 min) on the PAO chromsoome. Norfloxacin accumulation was decreased in the nfsC mutant; furthermore, the rate of imipenem diffusion through the outer membrane of the nfxC mutant was lower than of the parent strain. Sodium 46-kilodalton protein and an increase of a 50-kilodalton protein in the nfxC mutant. We conclude the nfxC is a new norfloxacin resistance gene that affects outer membrane permeability to quinolines and other antimicrobial agents.
