Distribution of ciprofloxacin-resistance genes among ST131 and non-ST131 clones of Escherichia coli isolates with ESBL phenotypes isolated from women with urinary tract infection

Distribution of ciprofloxacin-resistance genes among ST131 and non-ST131 clones of Escherichia coli isolates with ESBL phenotypes isolated from women with urinary tract infection

Background and Objectives: Escherichia coli (E. coli) sequence type 131 (ST131) is associated with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production and fluoroquinolone resistance. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of ST131, ESBL, and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes...
