the distribution of enteric bacteria from australian mammals: host and geographical effects.	bacteria of the family enterobacteriaceae were isolated from 642 mammalian hosts, representing 16 families and 79 species, collected from throughout australia. escherichia coli was the most common of the 24 enteric species recovered and represented almost half of the isolates. association analysis revealed that most other species of bacteria were less likely to be recovered from hosts in which e. coli was present. the composition of the enteric community of a host was found to be determined by b ...	1999	10537188
plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in australia.	the aim of this study was to search for plasmid-encoded quinolone resistance determinants qnra and qnrs in fluoroquinolone-resistant and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl)-producing enterobacterial isolates recovered in sydney, australia, in 2002. twenty-three fluoroquinolone-resistant, of which 16 were also esbl-positive, enterobacterial and nonrelated isolates were studied. pcr with primers specific for qnra and qnrs genes and primers specific for a series of esbl genes were used. a qnra ...	2006	16922624
