Molecular characterization and differential effects of levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin on the potential for developing quinolone resistance among clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates

Abstract excerpt

Background Fluoroquinolones are some of the most used antimicrobial agents for the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa . This study aimed at exploring the differential activity of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin on the selection of resistance among P. aeruginosa isolates at our medical center. Methods 233 P. aeruginosa clinical isolates were included in this study. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) was...
