Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The mechanisms of resistance to fluoroquinolones and beta-lactams were studied in isolates of Salmonella enterica resistant to both antimicrobial groups, isolated over time from two patients treated with fluoroquinolones. METHODS: The clonal relationships among the various strains was established by serotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. MICs for beta-lactams, quinolones, chloramphenicol and...
