Molecular analysis of florfenicol-resistant bacteria isolated from drinking water distribution systems in Southwestern Nigeria
6 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Use of chloramphenicol or its veterinary analogue florfenicol can selectively favour antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Understanding how resistance is mobilised and disseminated among pathogens is vital in knowing how different bacterial taxa might serve as reservoirs of these genes for pathogenic bacteria. METHODS: Bacterial isolates (n=30) were selected on the basis of multidrug resistance and...
