Longitudinal Trends in Fluoroquinolone Resistance among Enterobacteriaceae Isolates from Inpatients and Outpatients, 1989–2000: Differences in the Emergence and Epidemiology of Resistance across Organisms

Abstract excerpt

We conducted a 12-year study to identify and compare trends in annual prevalence of fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance among Enterobacteriaceae isolates obtained from inpatients and outpatients in our health care system. A total of 46,070 clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates underwent susceptibility testing. Although there were significant increases in inpatient FQ resistance for all Enterobacteriaceae, FQ...
