Abstract excerpt
The spread of antimicrobial resistance to antibiotics has emerged as a global health threat to contemporary medical practice. Among the various antibiotic-resistant pathogens of concern, fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli has been increasingly detected in environmental reservoirs. The present study investigates the molecular screening of the gyrA gene in E. coli isolates derived from various environmental...
