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.

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.
