Prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolated from diseased animals in Taiwan

Abstract: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a zoonotic pathogen that often causes diarrhea, respiratory diseases or septicemia in animals. Fluoroquinolones are antimicrobial agents used to treat pathogenic E. coli infections. In this study, 1,221 E. coli strains were isolated between March, 2011 and February, 2014. The results of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed a high prevalence of quinolone resistance. The antimicrobial resistance rates of these E. coli isolates to nalidixic acid (NAL) were 72.0% in swine, … Show more

“…In this study, 11 FQ-resistant APEC isolates carried 2 types of PMQR genes, qnrS (3 isolates) and qnrA (8 isolates). This result is consistent with recent studies of APEC isolates from Egypt, Taiwan, and South Korea ( Ahmed et al., 2013 , Yeh et al., 2017 , Seo and Lee, 2019 ). The PMQR genes may contribute to the increased prevalence of resistant mutants by conferring a low resistance level in a population ( Varela et al., 2015 ).…”

“…Yeh et al . [23] reported 50.6% ENR resistance and 42.3% CIP resistance of E. coli isolates from poultry in Taiwan. The resistance of quinolone in European countries in poultry was about 52% [7].…”

“…Fluroquinolones (FQs) such as ciprofloxacin are widely used in the therapy of typhoid fever because of their high efficacy, lesser side effects and convenient oral dosages [6,7]. However, the extensive use of these agents has led to the development of bacterial resistance to quinolones over time [6,8,9] Fluoroquinolone resistance in now gram-negative bacteria is infact a global issue [10] and is known to be mediated in S. typhi by point mutations in quinolone resistance determining regions (QRDR) of the genes encoding DNA gyrase (gyrA and gyrB) and topoisomerase IV (parC and parE); and carriage of the plasmidmediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes [7,11,48]. Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance was first reported in 1998 in the United States in a multiresistant urinary Klebsiella pneumoniae; but it is now being reported in clinical and environmental isolates of other gram-negative as well as and gram-positive bacteria, and appears to be spreading [11,12].…”
