Prevalence of Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance Genes and Molecular Typing of Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates from Blood Cultures in Milad Hospital, Tehran, Iran, Within 2018 - 2019
Abstract:Background: Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) determinants are commonly characterized in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates worldwide and complicate the treatment of infections caused by this bacterium. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of PMQR determinants and molecular typing of blood isolates of K. pneumoniae in Milad hospital in Tehran, Iran, within 2018 - 2019. Methods: A total of 100 K. pneumoniae isolates were tested for susceptibility to quinolones using the disk diffusi… Show more
