Abstract excerpt
In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, resistance to imipenem is mainly related to a lack of protein OprD and resistance to fluoroquinolones is mainly related to alterations in DNA gyrase. However, strains cross resistant to fluoroquinolones and imipenem have been selected in vitro and in vivo with fluoroquinolones. We investigated the mechanisms of resistance to fluoroquinolones in 30 clinical strains of P. aeruginosa...
