Plasmid‐mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) was late in being discovered. Nalidixic
acid, the first quinolone to be used clinically, was introduced in 1967 for urinary tract …

In the past 2 decades, we have observed a rapid increase of infections due to multidrug-
resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Regrettably, these isolates possess genes encoding for …

The emergence and worldwide spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae is
of great concern to public health. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of …

Antimicrobial consumption is one of the major contributing factors facilitating the
development and maintenance of bacteria exhibiting antimicrobial resistance. Plasmid …

Ethnopharmacological relevance The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has
rendered it more challenging to treat bacterial pneumonia. Traditional Chinese medicine …

Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in clinical strains cannot be detected by
phenotypic traits but require gene detection. We developed a multiplex real-time polymerase …

Quinolones are an important antimicrobial class used widely in the treatment of
enterobacterial infections. Although there are multiple mechanisms of quinolone resistance …

ComPath is an ongoing European programme dedicated to monitor antibiotic susceptibility
of bacterial pathogens from diseased dogs and cats. The objective was to characterize …

ABSTRACT AAC (6′)-Ib-cr is a plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance mechanism
described worldwide for Escherichia coli. Since it confers in vitro only a low level of …

The aim of this study was to screen for the presence of carbapenemase-producing
Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) isolates from bat guano in Bejaia, Algeria. Guano samples (n …
