Bacterial Resistance to Ciprofloxacin in Greece: Results from the National Electronic Surveillance System

According to 1997 susceptibility data from the National Electronic System for the Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance, Greece has high rates of ciprofloxacin resistance. For most species, the frequency of ciprofloxacin- resistant isolates (from highest to lowest, by patient setting) was as foll...
