چکیده
conclusions the high prevalence of quinolone resistance genes, which indicates antibiotic resistance, in the imam reza hospital of mashhad is a major concern. hence, the antibiotics prescription policy should be revised, and infection control measures should be improved. results eighty-six (43%) isolates were ciprofloxacin-resistant. the pct identified 85 (42.5%) of 200 e. coli isolates as esbl-producing. the blatem, blashv, qnra, qnrb, and qnrs gene were found in 65 (76.47%), 23 (27%), 63 (31%), 34 (17%), and 14 (7%) isolates, respectively. materials and methods two hundred e. coli strains, isolated from different clinical specimens were used. esbl-producing e. coli were detected by determining susceptibility to ceftazidime, cefotaxime, and cefpodoxime with the phenotypic confirmatory test (pct). pcr analysis was employed to detect the qnra, qnrb, qnrs, blatem, and blashv genes. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of qnr genes in esbl-producing and non-esbl-producing e. coli isolated from outpatient and hospitalized patient clinical specimens from imam reza hospital in mashhad, iran. background escherichia coli is an important bacterial species based on incidence and associated infection severity. some e. coli strains produce extended-spectrum beta lactamase (esbl) and are called esbl-producing e. coli. these strains are resistant to most classes of cephalosporin and a number of other classes of antibiotics. plasmids carrying qnr genes have been found to transmit quinolone resistance.

Prevalence of Quinolone Resistance Genes Among Extended-Spectrum B-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli in Mashhad, Iran.
BACKGROUND Escherichia coli is an important bacterial species based on incidence and associated infection severity. Some E. coli strains produce extended-spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) and are called ESBL-producing E. coli. These strains are resistant to most classes of cephalosporin and a number of other classes of antibiotics. Plasmids carrying qnr genes have been found to transmit quinolone ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and molecular characterization of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes (qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, aac(6')-Ib-cr, and qepA) among ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Kashan, Iran. A total of 185 K. pneumoniae isolates were tested for quinolone resistance and ESBL-producing using the disk diffusion method and double disk...

Objective(s) Production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) by enteric bacteria continues to be a major problem in hospitals and community. ESBLs producing bacteria cause many serious infections including urinary tract infections, peritonitis, cholangitis and intra-abdominal abscess. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of ESBLs producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiel...
