Title: Detection of qnr in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli from Korea. | Journal: Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy. 2005 Jun;49(6):2522-4 | Authors: Jeong JY, Yoon HJ, Kim ES, Lee Y, Choi SH, Kim NJ, Woo JH, Kim YS. | Abstract: qnr was detected in 2 of 260 Escherichia coli clinical isolates collected from a Korean hospital during the period 2001 to 2003. The two strains were not clonally related. qnr was located in In4 family class 1 integrons of original structure, downstream of orf513 and upstream from another resistance gene (dfrA3b) and a gene of unknown function (orf105). Transfer of the qnr determinant by conjugation could be detected from only one strain. | See full PubMed entry: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15917562 |
