Prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinants in enterobacteriaceae strains in West-Iran

摘要

Background: The quinolone groups are an important class of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. Plasmid mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants have emerged as a significant concern in recent years. This study reports on screening of resistant-isolates to fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agents for PMQR determinants and detection of qnr and aac(6′)-Ib-cr genes.
