Reduced virulence in ciprofloxacin-resistant variants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains
Institute of Microbiology, University of Brescia Spedali Civili, 25100 Brescia, Italy
accepted 27 July 1987
Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains resistant to ciprofloxacin were obtained from parental strains by serial transfer through subinhibitory concentrations of the drug. They showed reduced virulence for mice, and also increased sensitivity to aminoglycosides.
