In the UK, two worrying trends in E. coli antimicrobial resistance have been described recently: the increase in ciprofloxacin resistance in bloodstream isolates,1 and the isolation in multiple areas of the UK of strains of E. coli expressing a recently emerged strain of ß-lactamase, designated CTX-M.2 The emergence of CTX-M enzymes, which can be missed by the laboratory tests formerly . . .
