N2 - Minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) for ciprofloxacin were significantly higher among 41 members of the H30 subclone within Escherichia coli sequence type 131 than among 48 other fluoroquinolone-resistant E. coli isolates. This MBC difference, which was not explained by ciprofloxacin MICs, gyrA, parC, and parE mutations, the presence of aac(6=)-Ib-cr, or organic solvent tolerance (a surrogate for efflux pump activity), conceivably could have promoted the pandemic emergence of the H30 sequence type 131 subclone.
