Abstract
The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of qnrA, qnrB, and qnrS determinants and their molecular characteristics in ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae from urinary tract infections (UTI) in Korea. A total of 202 nonduplicated clinical isolates of ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli (n = 143) and K. pneumoniae (n = 59) were collected between July 2005 and August 2006. The qnr determinant screening was carried out by PCR amplification of qnrA, qnrB, and qnrS, and all positive results were confirmed by direct sequencing of the PCR products. For qnr-positive strains and their conjugants, antimicrobial susceptibility tests and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) were performed. The qnrB gene was detected in 41 of the 202 isolates. Among 33 of 59 (55.9%) K. pneumoniae isolates showing qnrB, 29 isolates contained the qnrB4 gene, 3 isolates had the qnrB2 gene, and 1 isolate had the qnrB6 gene. All 8 (5.6%) of the qnrB-positive isolates among the 143 E. coli strains possessed the qnrB4 gene. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ciprofloxacin for the transconjugants were 0.03-2 mug/ml, representing an increase of 4- to 256-fold relative to the recipient, E. coli J53...Continue Reading
