Research Article: The Drug-Specific Propensity Regarding the Acquisition of Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Escherichia coli: An in vitro Challenge and DNA Mutation Analysis
Introduction:
The recent increase in fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli is one of the most severe threats to public health. In the least surveillance, the frequency of fluoroquinolone-resistant E. coli has been reported at % in Europe, % in the United States, and % in Japan. The increase of such quinolone-resistant E. coli has been attributed to the use of fluoroquinolones. Subsequently, the guidelines of the Infectious Diseases Society of America and European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases…
