Quinolone Susceptibility and Detection of qnr and aac (6’)-Ib-cr Genes in Community Isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae

11 Jun 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes (PMQR) have been shown to play not only an important role in quinolone resistance, but also resistance to other antibiotics, particularly β-lactams and aminoglycosides. These genes are mainly associated with clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae. However, detection of PMQR genes in the community isolates can increase the dissemination rate of resistance...
