Prevalence of Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2003 ABSTRACT Quinolone resistance encoded by the qnr gene and mediated by plasmid pMG252 was discovered in a clinical strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae that was isolated in 1994 at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center.

OCCURRENCE OF QUINOLONE RESISTANCE GENES AMONG SALMONELLA SPECIES ISOLATED FROM CHICKENS [PDF]
Kafrelsheikh Veterinary Medical Journal, 2015 Resistance to antimicrobial agents within nontyphoidal Salmonella serotypes is considered a serious problem worldwide so this study was aimed to investigate the wide spread Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance between different Salmonellae isolated from

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2022 Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is an important pathogen associated with various infections. The emergence of antibiotic resistances, such as quinolone resistance and those due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), reduces the available ...

Emergence of plasmid-mediated resistance to quinolones in Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2005 Although quinolone resistance results mostly from chromosomal mutations in Enterobacteriaceae, it may also be mediated by plasmid-encoded Qnr determinants. Qnr proteins protect DNA from quinolone binding and compromise the efficacy of quinolones such as nalidixic acid.

Plasmid-mediated Quinolone Resistance in Salmonella enterica, United Kingdom
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 To the Editor: Fluoroquinolones are broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs used to treat many clinical infections. Salmonellosis is treated with fluoroquinolones only in elderly or immunocompromised patients, but these drugs are also used for treating patients with enteric fever, invasive disease, or long-term salmonellae carriage.

Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance: a Multifaceted Threat [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2009 SUMMARYAlthough plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) was thought not to exist before its discovery in 1998, the past decade has seen an explosion of research characterizing this phenomenon. The best-described form of PMQR is determined by theqnrgroup of genes.

Plasmid-Mediated Mechanism of Quinolone Resistance on E. coli Isolates from Different Clinical Samples [PDF]
Archives of Razi Institute, 2021 Quinolone antimicrobials are widely used in clinical medicine due to their wide spectrum with high tissue penetration and ease of use; but increasing resistance with clinical use appears to be common in some bacterial pathogens, including Escherichia ...
