Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the mechanism of ciprofloxacin resistance in isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii during two hospital outbreaks and to determine the expression level of the gene encoding the AdeB efflux pump. METHODS: Isolates were previously typed by PFGE and their MICs determined by broth microdilution. The gyrA and parC genes were sequenced and the adeB gene examined by real-time reverse...
