Chromosomal mutations that accompany qnr in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

We examined 13 qnr-positive and 14 qnr-negative clinical isolates of Escherichia coli for mutations previously seen in a qnr-containing laboratory strain exposed to supra minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ciprofloxacin. Among the qnr-positive strains, those with ciprofloxacin MICs of ≥ 2 µg/mL had at least one mutation in gyrA. Mutations in parC were present in strains with a ciprofloxacin MIC...
