Whole genome sequence analysis of Shigella from Malawi identifies fluoroquinolone resistance

Increasing antimicrobial resistance and limited alternative treatments have led to fluoroquinolone-resistant strain inclusion on the WHO global priority pathogens list. In this study we characterized multiple isolates from Malawi with whole genome sequence analysis, identifying the acquirable fluoro...

Zusammenfassung:Increasing antimicrobial resistance and limited alternative treatments have led to fluoroquinolone-resistant strain inclusion on the WHO global priority pathogens list. In this study we characterized multiple isolates from Malawi with whole genome sequence analysis, identifying the acquirable fluoroquinolone resistance determinant .
