Molecular identification of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes among klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates from southwest Iran | BMC Infectious Diseases

The widespread use of fluoroquinolones has resulted in the emergence of quinolone-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates including K. pneumoniae [6]. In this study, the antibiotic susceptibility rate of QRKP to different antibiotics including four quinolones was tested. Then, the frequency of seven PMQR genes in resistant isolates was investigated. To the best of our knowledge, this was … Read more
