Resistance to fluoroquinolones and amikacin in escherichia coli isolates / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the resistance to fluoroquinolones and amikacin in escherichia coti isolates. Methods ESBLs-producers were detected by CLSI phenotypic confirmatory test and susceptibilities were tested by agar dilution method. Results 33. 8% of 361 isolates were ESBLs-producers. The resistant rate of ciprofloxacin,levofloxacin, amikaxin was 93.4%, 90.9%, 13.1% in ESBLs-produeers, and that was 69.5%,68.6 %, 19.7 % in non-ESBLs-producers, respectively. Conclusion Amikaxin is active against most escherichia coli isolates; those isolates are highly resistant to fluoroquinolones, especially, in ESBLs-producers.
