Abstract

Clinical isolates of Escherichia coli collected from 1991 through 2005 at a tertiary-care center were studied for qnr and aac (6')-Ib-cr genes. Isolates bearing aac(6′)-Ib-cr emerged in 1998, coinciding with an increase in ciprofloxacin resistance. The presence of aac (6')-Ib-cr was multiclonal and was associated with the presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases.
