Article Synopsis
- Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) in extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria is linked to treatment failures and higher mortality, prompting a study in Babol, Iran, to assess the prevalence of PMQR genes.
- From March 2022 to February 2023, 95 clinical isolates were analyzed, revealing that 71.57% were ESBL producers, with high frequencies of specific PMQR genes detected.
- The study found a significant correlation between ESBL and PMQR genes, demonstrating the need for improved antimicrobial stewardship and surveillance to combat the spread of resistant bacteria.
