Abstract excerpt
We investigated the prevalence and role of efflux pump activity and possible drug influx resistance in ciprofloxacin susceptibility amongst 26 distinct clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae of varying ciprofloxacin susceptibilities and known quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) genotypes. Cellular [(14)C]ciprofloxacin accumulation patterns and the amount of cell-associated [(14)C]ciprofloxacin of...
