Existence of a novel qepA variant in quinolone resistant Escherichia coli from aquatic habitats of Bangladesh
نویسندگان
چکیده
Of 19 environmental Escherichia coli (n = 12) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 7) tested for quinolone resistance-related genes qnrA, qnrB, qnrC, qnrS and qepA, four each of E. coli and K. pneumoniae possessed qnrS, and another E. coli isolate possessed a new variant of qepA. This is the first detection of qepA in environmentally dwelling bacteria in Bangladesh.

The involvement of mutation in the serine 83 of quinolone resistant determining regions of the GyrA Gene in resistance to ciprofloxacin in Escherichia coli .
Appearance of bacteria resistant to antibacterial agents puts physicians in trouble and threatens the health of the world. The rapid development of bacterial resistance in Escherichia coli to ciprofloxacin makes difficult the treatment of infectious diseases. So, detection of the locations of possible mutations in gyrase A gene ( gyrA ) in these mutants is very important to determine the mech...

Background and purpose: Plasmid-medicated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes play an important role in resistance to quinolones. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of PMQR genes in extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing (ESBL) Escherichia coli. Materials and methods: This study was done on 240 isolates of E.­coli from urine samples of patients in Kermanshah, Iran. Th...

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...
متن کاملGenetic characterization of fluoroquinolone resistant Escherichia coli from urban streams and municipal and hospital effluents.
Escherichia coli with reduced susceptibility to ciprofloxacin, isolated from urban streams, wastewater treatment plants and hospital effluent between 2004 and 2012, were compared based on multilocus sequence typing (MLST), quinolone and beta-lactam resistance determinants and plasmid replicon type. Isolates from the different types of water and isolation dates clustered together, suggesting the...
متن کاملEvaluation of Quinolone Resistance in Escherichia coli Isolates Recovered from Urine and Feces of Patients with Acute or Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection
Introduction: Antibiotic resistance, especially in Gram-negative uropathogens such as Escherichia coli, is the main barrier to treat urinary tract infection (UTI). In recent years, the dramatically increased resistance of E. coli to quinolones, a group of widely used antibiotics, has become a significant concern. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, we collected 261 E. coli isola...
