Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) and mutations in quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of Salmonella and their association with fluoroquinolone susceptibility in Korea. METHODS: A total of 284 nonduplicated clinical isolates of Salmonella were collected from various clinical specimens at 12 tertiary-care hospitals in...
