Smaqnr, a new chromosome-encoded quinolone resistance determinant in Serratia marcescens
26 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: A new pentapeptide repeat (PRP) protein, named SmaQnr, from the clinically relevant species Serratia marcescens, which decreased susceptibility to quinolones when expressed in Escherichia coli, is reported herein. METHODS: In silico analysis revealed the presence of a gene encoding a Qnr-like protein that shares 80% amino acid identity with QnrB1 in the S. marcescens strain Db11. Fragments carrying...
