Novel Chromosomal Mutations Responsible for Fosfomycin Resistance in Escherichia coli

Fosfomycin resistance in Escherichia coli results from chromosomal mutations or acquisition of plasmid-mediated genes. Because these mechanisms may be absent in some resistant isolates, we aimed at decipher the genetic basis of fosfomycin resistance in E. coli. Different groups of isolates were stud...
