Increasing resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to ciprofloxacin

T E Daum et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1990 Sep.

Abstract

We demonstrated the marked emergence of resistance to ciprofloxacin among Staphylococcus arueus strains isolated at the Ann Arbor Veterans Administration Medical Center. All S. aureus isolates tested from 1984 to 1985 were susceptible, whereas 55.1% of methicillin-resistant and 2.5% of methicillin-susceptible strains from 1989 had high-level resistance to ciprofloxacin.
