Ciprofloxacin Resistance (ciprofloxacin + resistance)
Selected AbstractsRE: Ciprofloxacin resistance in Great Yarmouth and Waveney districtJOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY & VENEREOLOGY, Issue 2 2006TC Harry [source] Pyrosequencing of the DNA gyrase gene in Neisseria species: effective indicator of ciprofloxacin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae,APMIS, Issue 12 2006EMMA LINDBÄCK The quinolone resistance determining region (QRDR) of the gyrA gene in ciprofloxacin-susceptible strains (n=53) and strains of Neisseria spp. with reduced susceptibility (n=70) was determined by the pyrosequencing method. Results showed that the QRDR of the gyrA gene is an effective molecular indicator of resistance to ciprofloxacin in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and presumably in Neisseria meningitidis, but not in all other Neisseria spp. This sequence was not unique for N. gonorrhoeae and seems unsuitable for species verification of N. gonorrhoeae. However, whether it is also possible to use this region for verification depends on the specificity of the primary screening method used.

Gagliotti Abstract This study investigated the association between prescription of fluoroquinolones and emergence of ciprofloxacin resistance among Escherichia coli isolates in the urine of outpatients from whom a ciprofloxacin-sensitive E. coli strain had been isolated previously. Patients were identified and followed using the healthcare databases of Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy. The outcome of interest was the first isolation from urine of an E. coli strain resistant to ciprofloxacin. Prescription of fluoroquinolones during the previous 6 months was associated independently with the emergence of ciprofloxacin resistance; the strength of the association varied according to individual fluoroquinolone agents.
