Prevalence and distribution of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli lacking extended-spectrum -lactamases
10 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aac(6')-Ib-cr gene has been described in plasmids from CTX-M-15-producing Escherichia coli in the worldwide ST131 lineage, but has not been systematically sought in other quinolone-resistant strains in the UK. A rise in quinolone resistance in bacteraemia isolates in the UK preceded the increased prevalence of CTX-M-producing strains. This study aimed to describe the presence of plasmid-encoded...
