Significant ecological impact on the progression of fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli with increased community use of moxifloxacin, levofloxacin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid

Abstract: The rapid increase in CIPNS E. coli causing bacteraemia was closely related to the increase in resistance to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, production of ESBLs and resistance to aminoglycosides. Community use of fluoroquinolones (mainly moxifloxacin and levofloxacin) and of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid represents a significant driver in the progression of fluoroquinolone resistance in bacteraemic E. coli.

“…[13] In the guidelines of European Association of Urology, increase in the incidence of postbiopsy infection related to antimicrobial resistance has been indicated. [14] Within years a significant increase in the incidence of fluoroquinolone-resistant urinary system infections has been observed. [6,15] In multi-center studies where patients with urinary infection have been evaluated in many geographic regions of Turkey, rates of quinolone-resistance of E. coli strains isolated from urine cultures have been reported to range between 8.3, and 38 percent.…”
