Abstract: Introduction. The resistance to quinolone reported in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is commonly caused by mutations in the target site encoding genes such as the gyrA gene. Bacterial plasmids carrying resistance genes such as qnr… read more here.

Abstract: BackgroundFluoroquinolones are broad-spectrum antibiotics used to prevent and treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Plasmid-mediated qnr genes provide resistance to fluoroquinolones in many bacterial species and are increasingly encountered in clinical settings. Over the… read more here.
