Genetic Profiles of Fluoroquinolone-Nonsusceptible <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Among Cephalosporin-Resistant <i>K. pneumoniae</i>
24 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
The rate of fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance among the cephalosporin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is considerably high, however, their genetic profiles have not been well investigated. We selected 61 ciprofloxacin-nonsusceptible isolates from 102 K. pneumoniae isolates judged to be "resistant" to some cephalosporins during 2009 and 2012 throughout Japan. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis excluded clonal...
