Quinolone Resistance: A Practical Perspective

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1993
The recent letter by Fish et al 1 discusses concern over the development of resistance to the fluoroquinolone antibiotics, especially in Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa . 2,3 They suggest that resistance to fluoroquinolones should be reexamined in comparison with rates of emergence of resistance to other classes of antibiotics.

Macrolide- and quinolone-resistant bacteria and resistance genes as indicators of antibiotic resistance gene contamination in farmland soil with manure application

Ecological Indicators, 2019
The appearance of antibiotic resistance bacteria and genes (ARGs) poses a great threat to agricultural ecosystems. Here, to analyze the contamination of ARGs in the farmland soil with long-term manure application, quinolone- and macrolide-resistant ...

Epidemiology of Quinolone Resistance

Drugs, 1995
Both nalidixic acid and fluoroquinolones are used widely in the Eastern hemisphere for a variety of infectious diseases. A surveillance programme for antibiotic resistance in common pathogens has been conducted in the Western Pacific Region of the World Health Organization since 1989.

High-levels of resistance to quinolone and cephalosporin antibiotics in MDR-ACSSuT Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis mainly isolated from patients and foods in Shanghai, China.

Journal of food microbiology, 2018
In this study, 2887 Salmonella strains were mainly obtained from patients and foods in Shanghai from 2006 to 2014 in order to assess the susceptibility to 16 antibiotics. Among them, 3.8% (110/2887) S.

Quinolone resistance from a transferable plasmid

The Lancet, 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,

Distribution of extended-spectrum β-lactam, quinolone and carbapenem resistance genes, and genetic diversity among uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates in Tehran, Iran.

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2018
OBJECTIVES Antimicrobial resistance among uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is increasing. The aim of this study was to evaluate antimicrobial resistance in UPEC isolates and its correlation with virulence factors. METHODS A total of 120 E.

Detection of quinolone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996
The present National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) guideline for testing Neisseria gonorrhoeae quinolone susceptibility defines only a susceptible category for ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, lomefloxacin, and ofloxacin, while susceptible, intermediate, and resistant categories are defined for fleroxacin.
