  Purpose

The emergence of resistance to fluoroquinolone (FQ) is a major problem worldwide. The commensal flora is the main reservoir for antibiotic resistance. Understanding the factors (environmental, patient-related, dosis-related, drug-related…) involved in the emergence of resistance to fluoroquinolones in the commensal flora of patients treated with a FQ, may help prevent it and preserve the efficiency of these important antibiotics. Samples of rectal, nasal and pharyngeal flora will be collected from hospitalized patients before receiving a FQ, at the end of the treatment and 1 month after the end of treatment. Clinical data will be collected. The incidence and risk-factors associated with the emergence of resistance to FQ will be assessed by comparing groups with and without resistance both at the end of treatment and 1 month later.

Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: patient treated by fluoroquinolone
patient treated by fluoroquinolone. Nasal, rectal and pharyngeal swabs
 Other: Nasal, rectal and pharyngeal swabs
Nasal, rectal and pharyngeal swabs were performed before, during, and one month after the end of FQ treatment.
Other Name: Nasal, rectal and pharyngeal swabs
Placebo Comparator: patient not receiving FQ treatment
reference group of patients not receiving FQ treatment, but hospitalized in the same wards at the same time
 Other: Nasal, rectal and pharyngeal swabs
Nasal, rectal and pharyngeal swabs were performed before, during, and one month after the end of FQ treatment.
Other Name: Nasal, rectal and pharyngeal swabs

Detailed Description:

Population involved: Patients hospitalized (>1day) in one of the two participating university hospitals and receiving a treatment by a fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotic.

Number of centers : 2 (SAINT LOUIS and BEAUJON Hospitals, ASSISTANCE PUBLIQUE HOPITAUX DE PARIS, Paris, France).

Expected number of patients : 720

Aim : To study the incidence and risk-factors involved in the emergence of resistance to FQ in the commensal flora during and after treatment by a FQ.

Methods: Nasal, rectal and pharyngeal swabs were performed before, during, and one month after the end of FQ treatment. Microbiological analysis will focus on 3 target bacterial species: Escherichia coli from the faecal flora, alpha-haemolytic streptococci from the pharyngeal flora and non-coagulase staphylococci in the nasal flora. Patients carrying resistance at day 0 in all three flora will be excluded. The incidence and risk-factors of the emergence of resistance to FQ will be assessed at the end of treatment by FQ and 1 month after the end of treatment. Patients having resistant bacteria in their flora at the end and/or after treatment will be compared with those with no resistance.

The same swabs will be collected from a reference group of patients not receiving FQ treatment, but hospitalized in the same wards at the same time as the case patients in order to eventually detect horizontal transmission of FQ-resistant strains in the hospital ward.
