A <i>qnr</i> -plasmid allows aminoglycosides to induce SOS in <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2021-04-30
Abstract excerpt
The plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes have been shown to promote high-level bacterial resistance to fluoroquinolone antibiotics, potentially leading to clinical treatment failures. In Escherichia coli , sub-inhibitory concentrations (sub-MIC) of the widely used fluoroquinolones are known to induce the SOS response. Interestingly, the expression of several PMQR qnr genes is controlled by the SOS...
