Abstract excerpt
Fecal specimens from 50 healthy volunteers living in Izmir, Turkey, were examined for the presence of beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli by selection on agar plates containing ampicillin (10 mg/L). Thirty-nine (78%) of the strains were ampicillin-resistant and ampicillin MIC50 values for these isolates were > or =1024 microg/ml (range 32- > or =1024 microg/ml). Ampicillin MIC values remained above 64...
