Abstract
We determined the prevalence of, and risk factors for, fecal quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli (QREC) in 324 children from Yucatan, Mexico. QREC was higher in children with recent Salmonella infection (100%) than in children with diarrhea (61%) or healthy children (54%) (P = 0.007). Multivariate analysis identified recent hospitalization of a family member (P = 0.011, odds ratio [OR] = 5.1) and carriage of Salmonella (P = 0.004, OR = 3.7) as independent risk factors for QREC.Entities:
