Abstract excerpt
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production and quinolone resistance are often associated in enterobacteria. Prior exposure to 3G cephalosporins/quinolones accelerates the risk of resistance to both these groups of antibiotics. Hence, information on the antimicrobial resistance pattern of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) isolates is important to better formulate the guidelines for the empirical therapy...
