Mechanisms of and Risk Factors for Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Clinical Enterococcus faecalis Isolates from Patients with Urinary Tract Infections

15 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

We examined Enterococcus faecalis strains clinically isolated from 100 patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) for their susceptibility to levofloxacin (LVX) by measuring the MIC and investigated amino acid mutations by direct DNA sequencing, which were then correlated with LVX resistance. Next, we studied risk factors for LVX resistance, such as age, gender, and previous fluoroquinolone use, and...
