Since their initial description 2 decades ago, MexCD-OprJ-overproducing efflux mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (also called nfxB mutants) have rarely been described in the clinical setting. Screening of 110 nonreplicate clinical isolates showing moderate resistance to ciprofloxacin (MIC from 0.5 microg/ml to 4 microg/ml) yielded only four mutants (3.6%) of that type harboring various alterations in the...
