Molecular Characterization of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli : Nalidixic Acid and Ciprofloxacin Resistance, Virulent Factors and Phylogenetic Background
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A proficient pathogen should be virulent, resistant to antibiotics, and epidemic. However, the interplay between resistance and virulence is poorly understood. Perhaps, the most commonly accepted view is that resistance to quinolones is linked to a loss of virulence factors. However, the low virulent phylogenetic groups may be more prone to acquire resistance to quinolones. The aim of...
