Resistencia a quinolonas mediada por plásmido en enterobacteriaceae
(2006)
En 1998, se describió por primera vez resistencia a quinolonas transmisible horizontalmente mediante un plásmido conjugativo. La diseminación horizontal de mecanismos de resistencia a fluoroquinolonas abre la posibilidad ...

Predictive analysis of transmissible quinolone resistance indicates Stenotrophomonas maltophilia as a potential source of a novel family of Qnr determinants
(BioMed Central, 2008)
Background Predicting antibiotic resistance before it emerges at clinical settings constitutes a novel approach for preventing and fighting resistance of bacterial pathogens. To analyse the possibility that novel ...

Mutant prevention concentrations of fluoroquinolones for Enterobacteriaceae expressing the plasmid-carried quinolone resistance determinant qnrA1
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-06-01)
The influence of qnrA1 on the development of quinolone resistance in Enterobacteriaceae was evaluated by using the mutant prevention concentration parameter. The expression of qnrA1 considerably increased the mutant ...

Detection of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in clinical isolates of Enterobacter spp. in Spain
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)
We have studied by PCR and DNA sequencing the presence of the qnrA, qnrB, qnrS, aac(6′)-Ib-cr, qepA, intI1, and ISCR1 genes in 200 clinical isolates of Enterobacter cloacae (n = 153) and E. aerogenes (n = 47) consecutively ...

Fatal levofloxacin failure in treatment of a bacteremic patient infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae with a preexisting parC mutation
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008)
The fatal outcome of levofloxacin treatment in a patient with bacteremic pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae with a preexisting parC mutation is reported. Failure was due to the emergence of a gyrA mutation after ...

Efficacy of cefepime and imipenem in experimental murine pneumonia caused by porin-deficient Klebsiella pneumoniae producing CMY-2 β-lactamase
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-08-01)
Previous studies have shown decreased in vitro activity of zwitterionic cephalosporins and carbapenems against porin-deficient Klebsiella pneumoniae expressing a plasmid-mediated AmpC-type β-lactamase (PACBL). The in vitro ...

Characterization of a clinical isolate of Haemophilus influenzae with a high level of fluoroquinolone resistance
(Oxford University Press, 2006-01-23)
Haemophilus influenzae is one of the bacterial pathogens most likely to be involved in community-acquired respiratory infections in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In this species, resistance to ...
