Despite the massive developments within culture-independent methods for detection and quantification of microorganisms during the last decade culture-based methods remain a cornerstone in microbiology
Objectives: To investigate the frequency of genetic and phenotypic resistance to silver in invasive Enterobacteriaceae isolates, and to explore the genetic background to silver-resistance selected in
