Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance Genes, aac(6')-Ib-cr, qnrS, qnrB, and qnrA, in Urinary Isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae at a Teaching Hospital, Thailand.

This study showed a high prevalence of PMQR genes among both organisms. Clinical use of fluoroquinolones for the treatment of infections caused by fluoroquinolone-susceptible strains harboring PMQR genes may lead to decreased therapeutic efficacy. PMID: 24047744 [PubMed - in process]
