Genetic Determinants of Carbapenem and Fluoroquinolone Resistance in <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolates of Clinical Origin
This study revealed a high level of resistance to fluoroquinolones, emphasizing the need for judicious use of antibiotics, particularly those with low resistance rates. Continuous surveillance is essential to monitor emerging trends in resistance among bacterial pathogens.
