Abstract excerpt
Nitrofurantoin (NIT) has long been a drug of choice in the treatment of lower urinary tract infections. Recent emergence of NIT resistant Enterobacteriaceae is a global concern. An ordinal logistic regression model based on PCR amplification patterns of five genes associated with NIT resistance (nfsA, nfsB, ribE, oqxA, and oqxB) among 100 clinical Enterobacteriaceae suggested that a combination of oqxB, nfsB,...
