Effect of Fluoroquinolone Use in Primary Care on the Development and Gradual Decay of <i>Escherichia coli</i> Resistance to Fluoroquinolones: A Matched Case-Control Study

Effect of Fluoroquinolone Use in Primary Care on the Development and Gradual Decay of <i>Escherichia coli</i> Resistance to Fluoroquinolones: A Matched Case-Control Study

The reversibility of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine, over a period of five years, the effect of fluoroquinolone (FQ) use in primary care on the development and gradual decay of <i>Escherichia coli</i> resistance...
