Frequencies and mechanisms of resistance to moxifloxacin in nosocomial isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To compare the in vitro activity of moxifloxacin and ciprofloxacin against 226 nosocomial isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from 44 hospitals in the UK. METHODS: MICs of ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin were determined by Etest. PCR analysis was used to detect chromosomal mutations in the gyrA and parC genes. Isolates resistant to ciprofloxacin and susceptible to moxifloxacin were examined for the...
