Prevalence of Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance (PMQRs) Determinants and Whole Genome Sequence Screening of PMQR-Producing E. coli Isolated from Men Undergoing a Transrectal Prostate Biopsy

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are recommended as prophylaxis for men undergoing transrectal prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx). Recent studies suggest a significant share of FQ-resistant rectal flora in post-TRUST-Bx infections. Methods: 435 Enterobacterales isolates from 621 patients attending 12 urological departments in Poland were screened by PCR for PMQR genes ...

Molecular characterization of PMQR carrying bacteriophages in effluent discharge samples of Azerbaijan hospitals

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2023
Quinolones are one of the most widely used drugs in medicine. Resistance to this agent has been increased significantly among the nosocomial isolates. The objective of this research was to study generalized transduction, as a potential mechanism for plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes acquisition among hospital effluent isolates ...

Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance (PMQR) in Two Clinical Strains of Salmonella enterica Serovar Corvallis

Microorganisms, 2022
Non-typhoid serovars of Salmonella enterica are one of the main causes of bacterial food-borne infections worldwide. For the treatment of severe cases of salmonellosis in adults, fluoroquinolones are amongst the drugs of choice. They are categorized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as “critically important with highest priority in human medicine”.

Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) among Enterobacteriales in Latin America: a systematic review

Molecular Biology Reports, 2019
The plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes have changed the resistance pattern to quinolones, especially among Enterobacteriales. The dissemination of these genes in Latin American countries, where the prescription of fluoroquinolones is high, has been described in several studies; however, no review of the impact of PMQR in this continent ...

Dissemination of Escherichia coli carrying plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes from swine farms to surroundings

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
Different samples were collected from three swine farms in China to investigate the spread of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli. A total of 130 E. coli isolates were obtained from feces, air, river water, silt, and soil samples and characterized. The susceptibility of the E. coli isolates to 19 antibiotics was tested.

Prevalence of ESBLs and PMQR genes in fecal Escherichia coli isolated from the non-human primates in six zoos in China

Veterinary Microbiology, 2012
The aim of this study is to characterize the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes in Escherichia coli from captive non-human primates. A total of 206 E. coli isolates were collected from primates in six zoos in China in 2009 and their susceptibility to 10 antimicrobials were tested ...

Conjugal transfer of PMQR from uropathogenic E.coli under high ciprofloxacin selection pressure generates gyrA mutation

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2019
Incidence of high fluoroquinolone resistance has been rising rapidly worldwide. Resistance against fluoroquinolones can be either chromosomal or plasmid mediated. Plasmid mediated quinolone resistant(PMQR) genes impart low level of resistance against fluoroquinolones but provides favorable background for selection of additional chromosomally encoded ...

Prevalence of PMQR genes in E. coli and Klebsiella spp. isolated from North-West of Morocco

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2017
Plasmid mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes are increasingly detected worldwide. However, in Morocco a few studies have been carried out. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of these determinants among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp.

Successful international clones of blaCTX-M-15–producing Klebsiella pneumoniae with coexpression of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants in Tehran hospitals

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2015
The dissemination of plasmid-mediated multidrug resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is a major public health concern. We investigated the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR), 16S rRNA methylases, CTX-M, and acquired AmpC enzymes in ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=40) from Tehran hospitals.

High frequency of the combined presence of QRDR mutations and PMQR determinants in multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli isolates from nosocomial and community-acquired infections

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2017
Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants combined with mutations in quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) and clonal dissemination were investigated in 40 fluoroquinolone-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli isolates from nosocomial and community-acquired infections.
