Cloning of a Novel Gene for Quinolone Resistance from a Transferable Plasmid in Shigella flexneri 2b.

PMID 15673773 · 2005

A novel quinolone resistance gene, qnrS, was cloned from a transferable plasmid in Shigella flexneri 2b. The gene shows 59% amino acid identity with Qnr and confers low-level quinolone resistance when expressed in E. coli HB101.
