摘要
Among 55 preserved isolates collected in northern Taiwan from 1999 through 2003, ciprofloxacin resistance ( minimum inhibitory concentration, greater than or equal to 1 mug/ mL) was found in 1 ( 25%) of 4 isolates obtained in 1999 - 2000 and in 27 ( 93.1%) of 29 isolates obtained in 2003. Pulsed- field gel electrophoresis analysis indicated that several clones predominated among the ciprofloxacin- resistant isolates.
