the 2000s as important human pathogens, have spread extensively throughout the world …

Quinolone and fluoroquinolone antibiotics are potent, broad-spectrum agents commonly
used to treat a range of infections. Resistance to these agents is multifactorial and can be via …

In 2008, a previously unknown Escherichia coli clonal group, sequence type 131 (ST131),
