*PFGE, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; Nal, nalidixic acid; Cip, ciprofloxacin; WT, wild type; ND, not determined; A, ampicillin; S, streptomycin, C, chloramphenicol; Su, sulfamethoxazole; Tmp, trimethoprim; SXT, cotrimoxazole; CipDS, decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin. Disk diffusion test was performed and interpreted ([S], susceptible; [I], intermediate) following recommendations of antibiogram committee of the French Society for Microbiology. MICs were determined by Etest strips, and categorization was made according to the French Society for Microbiology and Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.
†Previously described same patient (13).
