Quinolone-resistance determining region (QRDR) of Gyrase A gene was sequenced in 54 Salmonella strains of pig origin that have different quinolone-resistance patterns. Those strains accounted for 12 different serotypes. Mutations at Ser83 or Asp87 were predominant in the studied isolates. However, for serotypes Anatum and Virchow, resistance to quinolones seemed to be linked to specific mutations, namely, Ser83-->Tyr and Ser83-->Phe, respectively. Other mutations found in different positions did not seem to have clinical significance except for changes at Asp82.

Background: Nemonoxacin is a new quinolone with an antibacterial efficacy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Certain sequence types (STs) have been emerging in Taiwan, including fluoroquinolone-resistant ST8/USA300. It's an urgent need to determine nemonoxacin susceptibility against ST8/USA300 and other emerging lineages, if any.

Objectives: In Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, emerging meropenem resistance beyond imipenem resistance has become a problem. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the in vivo acquisition of antimicrobial resistance in fluoroquinolone- and carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa clinical isolates, the underlying molecular mechanisms, and exposure to antimicrobial agents.

The aim of this study is to determine the epidemiological and bacteriological profile of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, as well as antibiotic resistance among hospitalized patients at CHU Mohammed VI, in order to guide empirical antibiotic choices for better management. Methods: This is a prospective study conducted over a period of 12 months, from January to December 2023, focusing on all requests for bacteriological examination of ascitic fluid samples.

This study aimed to explore the interactions among genetic determinants influencing ciprofloxacin resistance in . Treatment with PAβN, an efflux pump inhibitor, resulted in a 4-32-fold reduction in the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) across all 18 ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates. Notably, isolates without point mutations reverted from resistance to sensitivity.
