Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A progressive frequency of resistance to fluoroquinolones is observed among Gram-negative bacilli. AIM: To investigate the mechanism of resistance to fluoroquinolones mediated by mutations affecting gyrA and gyrB genes in strains of Gram negative bacüli isolated from CMean hospitals. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Minimal inhibitory concentration of fluoroquinolones was determined in 91 randomly selected...
