Decreased Prevalence of Virulence Factors among Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolates
1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Ciprofloxacin resistance was identified in 18% and 6% of consecutively collected, clinically significant urinary tract isolates of Escherichia coli from inpatients and outpatients, respectively. In comparison to ciprofloxacin-susceptible isolates, there were fewer resistant isolates that expressed beta-hemolysis (outpatient, 9% versus 87%, P < 0.0001; inpatient, 4% versus 76%, P < 0.0001) and that had a papEF...
