Abstract

Exposure of ciprofloxacin- and cefepime-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates to increasing concentrations of ciprofloxacin selected for ciprofloxacin resistance in 26/27 and cefepime nonsusceptibility in 7/27 isolates. Exposure of the isolates to increasing concentrations of cefepime selected for cefepime nonsusceptibility in 20/27 isolates but not for ciprofloxacin resistance.
