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).

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

BMC Microbiology, 2023
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.

Molecular epidemiology of levofloxacin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and the association of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes with key biological phenotypes [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major opportunistic pathogen in China, yet the molecular epidemiology of quinolone resistance remains poorly characterized. This study analyzed 2,433 clinical isolates from 37 Chinese hospitals (2018–2022).

Surface Contamination by Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in a Healthcare Facility: Resistance Determinants and Biofilm-Associated Adhesion. [PDF]

Int J Microbiol
Hospital surfaces represent a major reservoir of multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacteria (MDR‐GNB), which contributes to healthcare‐associated infections. This study characterized the occurrence, resistance determinants, and biofilm‐forming behavior of MDR‐GNB isolated from hospital surfaces in a Moroccan regional hospital.

Resistance Profiling of Predominant Non-<i>E. coli</i> Enterobacteriaceae Isolated From Humans, Food Animals, and the Environment in the Fako Division of Cameroon. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int
The impact of the current global rising resistance of Enterobacteriaceae to antibiotic agents is of great concern. Detecting and monitoring resistance in these pathogens in humans, animals, and the environment and taking appropriate actions based on results obtained are indispensable to reverse this trend.
