Levofloxacin treatment failure in Haemophilus influenzae pneumonia

Teresa Bastida et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2003 Nov.

Abstract

We describe the first case of failure of oral levofloxacin treatment of community-acquired pneumonia caused by Haemophilus influenzae. The strain showed cross-resistance to fluoroquinolones and carried four mutations in quinolone resistance-determining regions of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV genes.
