Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance Genes in Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Healthy Dogs [PDF]
Veterinary SciencesKnowledge about the potential roles of pets as reservoirs for plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance is still limited in Türkiye. Thus, in our study, the presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone genes (qnrA, qnrB and qnrS) was examined by multiplex ...

Presence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes in non-typhoidal Salmonella strains with reduced susceptibility to fluoroquinolones isolated from human salmonellosis in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea from 2016 to 2019 [PDF]
Gut Pathogens, 2021 Non-typhoidal salmonellosis remains a pressing public health problem worldwide. Quinolones, particularly fluoroquinolones, are widely used to treat various infections, including non-typhoidal salmonellosis, which can be a serious illness.

Prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinants among oxyiminocephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Argentina [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013 High quinolone resistance rates were observed among oxyiminocephalosporin-resistant enterobacteria. In the present study, we searched for the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes within the 55 oxyiminocephalosporin-resistant ...

Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2014 ABSTRACTThree mechanisms for plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) have been discovered since 1998. Plasmid genesqnrA, qnrB, qnrC, qnrD, qnrS,andqnrVCcode for proteins of the pentapeptide repeat family that protects DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV from quinolone inhibition.

Expanded-spectrum β-Lactamase and Plasmid-mediated Quinolone Resistance
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 To the Editor: The emergence of plasmid-mediated, and thus transferable, quinolone resistance determinants has been recently discovered (1) and shown to involve the pentapeptide repeat protein Qnr, which interacts with DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV to prevent quinolone inhibition (2,3). Qnr determinants confer resistance to nalidixic acid and reduced

Mechanism of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002 Quinolones are potent antibacterial agents that specifically target bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Widespread use of these agents has contributed to the rise of bacterial quinolone resistance. Previous studies have shown that quinolone resistance arises by mutations in chromosomal genes.
