Abstract
The frequency by which resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains could be selected was compared for two antibiotics, levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin. Seven distinct strains were cultured on plates containing 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the antibiotic under investiga …
