In vitro and in vivo persistence of IncN plasmids carrying qnr genes in uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the persistence of the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) among uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains grown under or without exposure to subinhibitory concentrations of ciprofloxacin. Based on that, we evaluated the possible spontaneous loss or mai...
