Drug-resistant rates in 00 against CFIX, CFTM-PI, CTRX, CDZM, SPCM and LVFX were 5.9, 0., 0, 0, 0, and 0., respectively. MICs 90 against the strains isolated in 00 did not change compared to those in. MICs against four strains isolated from were twice higher than those from urethras. The incidences of β -lactamase producing strain were. in, 5. in, 5.0 in 00, respectively. From gene analysis using PFGE, four gene patterns were recognized. mong them, 7 had the same gene pattern, which was detected from the strains isolated in each year and from different areas, indicating that this appearance of CFIX-resistant strains was not due to an outbreak of the same clone.
