1 Jan 2002

The emergence and evolution of quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli in faeces of patients with prostatitis treated with high-dose oral ciprofloxacin for 1 month were studied. In 11 of 23 patients, from whom only quinolone-susceptible E. coli was isolated before treatment, quinolone-resistant strains, genetically distinct from the quinolone-susceptible ones, predominated during and just after therapy.
