Abstract
BACKGROUND: and identified their clinical characteristics. METHODS: -test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and Fisher's exact test were used for comparisons. RESULTS: isolates showed a higher frequency of resistance to ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. CONCLUSIONS: isolates should be separately identified in routine clinical laboratory tests for appropriate treatment selection.
