Abstract excerpt
Two mutants of Escherichia coli (V1 and V2) with acquired mechanisms of resistance to fluoroquinolones were isolated sequentially from blood cultures of a patient with cholangiocarcinoma treated repeatedly with ofloxacin; a third mutant (V3) was isolated under ciprofloxacin therapy. All mutants were related clonally. V1 was susceptible to quinolones but with diminished susceptibility to ofloxacin. V2 was...
