Characterization of Beta-Lactamase and Fluoroquinolone Resistance Determinants in <i>Escherichia coli</i>, <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae,</i> and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Isolates from a Tertiary Hospital in Yola, Nigeria
Infections due to antimicrobial resistant gram-negative bacteria cause significant morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. To elucidate the molecular epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance in gram-negative bacteria, we characterized beta-lactam and fluoroquinolone resistance determinants in...
