High Prevalence of Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance Determinants in <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Isolates from Pediatric Patients in China

Abstract excerpt

In this study, the prevalence of the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes among pediatric clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae was investigated. A total of 243 nonduplicate clinical isolates of E. coli and K. pneumoniae collected between January 2010 and December 2012 from Beijing, China, were studied. In total, 55 isolates (22.63%) were positive for PMQR genes, the most...
