Prevalence and Molecular Characterization of Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Escherichia coli in Healthy Children
13 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
Faecal E. coli can act as reservoirs for resistance genes. Here, we analyzed prevalence of drug resistance in faecal E. coli isolated from healthy children at a single kindergarten in Beijing, China, then used whole genome sequencing to characterize fluoroquinolone-non-susceptible strains. Our results revealed high resistance to ampicillin (54.0%), trimethoprim/sulphurmethoxazole (47.5%) and tetracycline (58.9%)...
