Contribution of OqxAB efflux pumps to quinolone resistance in extended-spectrum- -lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
25 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to analyse the presence of oqxA and oqxB genes in a collection of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains, to determine their chromosomal and/or plasmidic locations and to analyse expression levels in relation to susceptibility or resistance to quinolones. METHODS: A collection of 114 non-repetitive isolates of ESBL-producing K....
