The Evolution of Fluoroquinolone Resistance in <i>Salmonella</i> under Exposure to Sub-Inhibitory Concentration of Enrofloxacin

The evolution of resistance in <i>Salmonella</i> to fluoroquinolones (FQs) under a broad range of sub-inhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) has not been systematically studied. This study investigated the mechanism of resistance development in <i>Salmonella enterica</i> serova...
