Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were (i) to determine the frequency of plasmid-mediated resistance to fluoroquinolones (FQs) in Escherichia coli isolated from patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) of nosocomial and community origin and (ii) to determine the relationships between the presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), mutations in the gyrA and parC genes, and resistance to FQs. METHODS:...
