Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential usefulness of DNA fragmentation as a quick and simple procedure for detecting resistance to fluoroquinolones (FQ) in isogenic Escherichia coli strains harboring defined and multiple quinolone resistance mechanisms, including low-level quinolone resistance (LLQR) phenotypes. DNA fragmentation assay (Micromax(®)) was evaluated for detecting resistance to FQ in...
