Coexistence of PMQR and ESBL genes among clinical Escherichia coli isolates from community-acquired UTI in Mexicali, on the US-Mexico border [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Escherichia coli is an opportunistic pathogen and a leading cause of Community-Acquired Urinary Tract Infections (CA-UTIs). E. coli can harbor multiple genetic resistant determinants, such as Extended Spectrum Beta-lactamases (ESBL) and Plasmid-Mediated ...

Coexistence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) genes among clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in Egypt [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background Data about the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production in P. aeruginosa compared to the Enterobacteriaceae family is limited.

High prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) among E. coli from aquatic environments in Bangladesh.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Fluro(quinolones) is an important class of antibiotic used widely in both human and veterinary medicine. Resistance to fluro(quinolones) can be acquired by either chromosomal point mutations or plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR).

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

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.

Expression of plasmid-mediated resistance genes ESBLs and PMQR among uropathogens, isolated from non-dialysis CKD patients with pyelonephritis

Počki, 2022
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are thought to be the most common group of bacterial infections, worldwide. It is estimated that the proportion of UTIs remains at a high level reaching 150 million episodes per year worldwide and accounting for $6 billion

Impact of co-existence of PMQR genes and QRDR mutations on fluoroquinolones resistance in Enterobacteriaceae strains isolated from community and hospital acquired UTIs

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Fluoroquinolones are commonly recommended as treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs). The development of resistance to these agents, particularly in gram-negative microorganisms complicates treatment of infections caused by these ...

Molecular identification of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes among klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates from southwest Iran [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
In recent years, the resistance rate to quinolone antibiotics has been increasing in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes are one of the factors causing resistance to quinolones.

PLASMID-MEDIATED QUINOLONE RESISTANCE – PMQR [PDF]

Postępy Mikrobiologii, 2018
Fluoroquinolones(FQ) are broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents widely used to treat a range of infections in clinical medicine. However, the surveillance studies demonstrate that fluoroquinolone resistance rates increased in Enterobacteriaceae in the past ...
