Molecular epidemiology and nitrofurantoin resistance determinants of nitrofurantoin-non-susceptible Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infections
15 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The worldwide emergence of multidrug-resistant uropathogens has resulted in the revival of old antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin (NIT) for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs). This study aimed to identify determinants of NIT resistance and to investigate the genetic diversity of NIT-resistant (NIT-R) Escherichia coli isolates. METHODS: Six NIT-R and three NIT-susceptible...
