Article Synopsis
- The study screened 703 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae from 34 ICUs in Germany.
- Four patients in two ICUs were found to have qnr-positive strains of Enterobacter sp. and Citrobacter freundii that also contained integrons.

Development and mechanism of fluoroquinolone resistance in Legionella pneumophila.
