Abstract excerpt
AAC(6')-Ib-cr is a plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance mechanism described worldwide for Escherichia coli. Since it confers in vitro only a low level of resistance to ciprofloxacin, we evaluated its impact on the in vivo activity of ciprofloxacin. Isogenic strains were obtained by transferring plasmid p449, harboring aac(6')-Ib-cr, into the quinolone-susceptible strain E. coli CFT073-RR and its D87G gyrA...
