Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Burn Patients in Tehran, Iran.

CONCLUSION: The findings of the present study indicated the presence of aac(6')-Ib-cr variant and lack of the contribution of qnr and qepA in the emergence of resistance to quinolones in P. aeruginosa isolated from burn patients. Considering the importance of clonal spread of these resistant isolates and their significant role in the development of clinical infections, especially in patients with burns, more attention should be paid to the prevention of the dissemination of these resistant isolates.
