Abstract

La influencia de qnrA1 en el desarrollo de resistencia a quinolonas en enterobacterias se evaluó mediante el parámetro prevención concentración mutante. La expresión de qnrA1 aumentado considerablemente la concentración preventiva de mutantes en comparación con las cepas que no tienen este gen. En presencia de qnrA1, las mutaciones en los genes gyrA y parC se seleccionaron fácilmente para producir altos niveles de resistencia a quinolonas
The influence of qnrA1 on the development of quinolone resistance in Enterobacteriaceae was evaluated by using the mutant prevention concentration parameter. The expression of qnrA1 considerably increased the mutant prevention concentration compared to strains without this gene. In the presence of qnrA1, mutations in gyrA and parC genes were easily selected to produce high levels of quinolone resistance.
