Prevalence of Plasmid‐Mediated Quinolone Resistance Genes among Ciprofloxacin‐Nonsusceptible <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Isolated from Blood Cultures in Korea

Abstract

PMQR genes were highly prevalent among ciprofloxacin-nonsusceptible E coli and K pneumoniae from blood cultures in the authors' hospital. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor for the spread of PMQR genes of clinical isolates and to ensure careful antibiotic use in a hospital setting.
