Fluoroquinolones Protective against Cephalosporin Resistance in Gram-negative Nosocomial Pathogens

Fluoroquinolones Protective against Cephalosporin Resistance in Gram-negative Nosocomial Pathogens

In a matched case-control study, we studied the effect of prior receipt of fluoroquinolones on isolation of three third-generation cephalosporin-resistant gram-negative nosocomial pathogens. Two hundred eighty-two cases with a third-generation cephalosporin-resistant pathogen (203 with Enterobacter...
