Mobile insertion cassette elements found in small non-transmissible plasmids in Proteeae may explain qnrD mobilization.

Mobile insertion cassette elements found in small non-transmissible plasmids in Proteeae may explain qnrD mobilization.

qnrD is a plasmid mediated quinolone resistance gene from unknown origin, recently described in Enterobacteriaceae. It encodes a pentapeptide repeat protein 36-60% different from the other Qnr (A, B, C, S and VC). Since most qnrD-positive strains were described as strains belonging to Proteus or Pro...
