Abstract
Six different gram-negative bacilli were serially transferred through subinhibitory concentrations of seven quinolone derivatives or related organic acids. A gradual, stepwise decrease in susceptibility was noted with all seven drugs, and the resistant cultures demonstrated a concomitant cross-resistance to the other drugs.
