Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Analyses of efflux pumps overexpression and mutations in quinolone resistance determining region (QRDR) in early stage of development of resistance to fluoroquinolones (FQs) are valuable to discuss countermeasures against them. We induced levofloxacin (LVFX)-resistant strains from susceptible uropathogenic Escherichia coli in vitro to analyze the mechanisms of development of FQs-resistance. METHODS:...
