Quinolone, fluoroquinolone and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole resistance in relation to virulence determinants and phylogenetic background among uropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: The goal of this study was to assess how resistance to quinolones, fluoroquinolones and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole relates to the virulence potential and phylogenetic background of clinical Escherichia coli isolates. METHODS: Among 150 uropathogens (21% resistant to quinolones, 12% resistant to fluoroquinolones and 29.3% resistant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole), E. coli phylogenetic group, 15...
