Prevalence and molecular epidemiology of plasmid-mediated fosfomycin resistance genes among blood and urinary Escherichia coli isolates
30 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
A total of 1878 non-duplicate clinical Escherichia coli isolates (comprising 1711 urinary isolates and 167 blood-culture isolates), which were collected from multiple centres in Hong Kong during 1996-2008, were used to investigate the prevalence and molecular epidemiology of plasmid-mediated fosfomycin (fos) resistance genes. Eighteen of the 1878 clinical E. coli isolates were fosfomycin resistant, of which six...
