1145. The Role of the Plasmid-Mediated Fluoroquinolone-Resistance (PMFQR) Genes As Resistance Mechanisms in Pediatric Infections due to Enterobacterales (Ent)
Abstract:Background
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are not commonly prescribed in children, yet the increasing incidence of multidrug resistant (MDR) Ent infections in this population often reveals FQ resistance. We sought to define the role of FQ resistance in the epidemiology of MDR Ent in children, with an overall goal to devise treatment and prevention strategies.
Methods
A case-control study of children (0-18 years) at 3 Chicago hospital… Show more
