Abstract
During a 7-month period, we isolated 21 highly fluoroquinolone-resistant Enterobacter cloacae strains in units from two hospitals in Marseille, France. Random amplification of polymorphic DNA showed clonal identity between isolates which, furthermore, presented the Enterobacter hormaechei genotype on DNA-DNA hybridization. The emergence of this clone was observed only in patients treated with fluoroquinolones.
