Prevalence of Plasmid‐Mediated Quinolone Resistance Genes in <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolates From Colonic Biopsies of Iranian Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Cross‐Sectional Study
Our results reveal that a significant number of patients with IBD carry quinolone-resistant <i>E. coli</i>. This colonization may pose a risk factor that could affect disease progression and contribute to potential complications.
