<p>Prevalence of quinolone-resistant uropathogenic <em>Escherichia coli</em> in a tertiary care hospital in south Iran</p>

Abstract

We found high levels of quinolones resistance (more than 40%) among <i>E. coli</i> strains isolated from patients with UTIs in the south of Iran. We further report the prevalence of PMQR genes among uropathogenic <i>E.</i> <i>coli</i>; however, it seems that these genes are not the main components of quinolone resistance in our region.
