Enterobacter cloacae outbreak and emergence of quinolone resistance gene in Dutch hospital.

Emerging infectious diseases - 1 May 2006

Paauw Armand, Fluit Ad C, Verhoef Jan, Leverstein-van Hall Maurine A

Abstract excerpt

An outbreak of Enterobacter cloacae infections with variable susceptibility to fluoroquinolones occurred in the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands in 2002. Our investigation showed that a qnrA1 gene was present in 78 (94%) of 83 outbreak isolates and that a qnrA1-encoding plasmid transferred to other strains of the same species and other species. The earliest isolate carrying this same plasmid...
