Cloning of a Novel Gene for Quinolone Resistance from a Transferable Plasmid in Shigella flexneri 2b.
PMID: 156737732005Japan
Key Findings
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.
