Abstract excerpt
In order to determine the resistance patterns and evolution trends of four common Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp. and Enterobacter spp.), aminoglycoside resistance phenotypes of 8917 non-repetitive strains, isolated over an 8-year period, were analysed. Phenotypes were defined by examining the susceptibility of the strains to a panel of aminoglycosides, using disk diffusion...
