Plasmid-mediated qepA gene among Escherichia coli clinical isolates from Japan.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seven hundred fifty-one Escherichia coli clinical isolates collected from 140 Japanese hospitals between 2002 and 2006 were screened for the qepA and qnr genes. Two E. coli isolates (0.3%) harbored qepA, but no qnr was identified. The results suggested a low prevalence of E. coli harboring qepA or qnr in Japan.

Potential Co-prevalence of Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance Determinant qepA and 16S rRNA Methylase rmtB among E.coli Clinical Isolates from Alexandria- Egypt.
BACKGROUND Fluoroquinolone-resistant Gram-negative pathogens have been increasingly reported from most regions of the world over the last decade. A new plasmid-mediated fluoroquinolone efflux pump gene (qepA) is known to be associated with the 16S rRNA methylase gene (rmtB) that confers resistance to aminoglycosides. AIM To investigate the potential co-prevalence of qepA and rmtB genes in Esc...

Objective(s) Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria have an important role in nosocomial infections. Due to the limited availability of information about the molecular epidemiology of ESBL producing bacteria in Mashhad, we decided to investigate about TEM, CTX and SHV ESBLs among urinary Escherichia coli isolates in Mashhad, a city in northeast Iran. Materials and Methods ...
متن کاملPlasmid-mediated quinolone resistance pump QepA2 in an Escherichia coli isolate from France.
One hundred twenty-one extended-spectrum beta-lactamse-producing enterobacterial clinical isolates were screened for the qepA gene. A single CTX-M-15-positive Escherichia coli isolate (0.8%) that produced the putative pump QepA2 was identified. This qepA2 gene was located onto a 90-kb mobilizable plasmid that conferred reduced susceptibility to hydrophilic fluoroquinolones.

We investigated the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes in avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) strains in Japan. A total of 117 APEC strains collected between 2004 and 2007 were examined for PMQR genes (qnrA, qnrB, qnrC, qnrD, qnrS, aac(6')-Ib-cr, qepA and oqxAB) by polymerase chain reaction. None of the APEC strains carried qnrA, qnrB, qnrC, qnrD, qnrS, qepA o...
