Abstract excerpt

During 1999-2000, 5015 isolates were collected from 13 countries and tested against levofloxacin. Overall, levofloxacin resistance minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC>or =8 mg/l) was found in 40 isolates (0.8%). The highest resistance rates were in Hong Kong (8.0%), China (3.3%) and Spain (1.6%). Levofloxacin retained an MIC(90) of 1 mg/l in all countries. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis of resistant...
