Abstract excerpt
Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) O164 strain RIMD05091045 was isolated from a travelling patient suffering from diarrhoea at the Osaka airport quarantine facility in Japan. The strain showed multidrug resistance against streptomycin, spectinomycin, co-trimoxazole (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole) and ampicillin, and reduced susceptibility to ciprofloxacin. Molecular characterization of the...
