Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance

Expert Review of Anti-Infective Therapy, 2008
The first plasmid-mediated gene involved in quinolone resistance (qnrA1) was reported in 1998. It codes for a pentapeptide-repeat protein that protects type II topoisomerases from quinolones. Additional related plasmid-mediated genes (qnrB, qnrS and qnrC) and chromosomal homologs of them have also been discovered.

Quinolone resistance from a transferable plasmid

Lancet, The, 1998
Bacteria can mutate to acquire quinolone resistance by target alterations or diminished drug accumulation. Plasmid-mediated resistance to quinolones in clinical isolates has been claimed but not confirmed. We investigated whether a multiresistance plasmid could transfer resistance to quinolones between bacteria.We transferred resistance between strains

Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance: an update

Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 2011
In 1998, the first plasmid-mediated gene involved in quinolone resistance (currently named qnrA1) was reported. Extra qnr-like plasmid-mediated genes (qnrB, qnrS, qnrC, qnrD) and their chromosomal homologues have also been characterized. These genes code for a pentapeptide repeat protein that protects type II topoisomerases from quinolones. Since then,

Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance: Two decades on

Drug Resistance Updates, 2016
After two decades of the discovery of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR), three different mechanisms have been associated to this phenomenon: target protection (Qnr proteins, including several families with multiple alleles), active efflux pumps (mainly QepA and OqxAB pumps) and drug modification [AAC(6')-Ib-cr acetyltransferase].

The worldwide emergence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance

The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2006
Fluoroquinolone resistance is emerging in gram-negative pathogens worldwide. The traditional understanding that quinolone resistance is acquired only through mutation and transmitted only vertically does not entirely account for the relative ease with which resistance develops in exquisitely susceptible organisms, or for the very strong association ...
