Mobilizable IncQ-related plasmid carrying a new quinolone resistance gene, qnrS2, isolated from the bacterial community of a wastewater treatment plant.

PMID: 169401042006Germany

Key Findings

The study identifies a new quinolone resistance gene, qnrS2, carried on a mobilizable IncQ-related plasmid pGNB2 isolated from a wastewater treatment plant. This gene confers resistance to various quinolones including nalidixic acid, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, and sparfloxacin.
