A novel method to discover fluoroquinolone antibiotic resistance (qnr) genes in fragmented nucleotide sequences
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotics are central in modern health care and are used to treat and prevent a wide range of bacterial infections. The recently discovered <it>qnr</it> genes provide a mechanism of resist...
