Molecular characterization of the first fluoroquinolone resistant strains of Streptococcus agalactiae isolated in Brazil
Three isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae, recovered from residents of the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro with significant bacteriuria, were found to be resistant to levofloxacin. Determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) confirmed one isolate as intermediate and two as resis...
