Qnr protein
Overview
Predictive analysis of transmissible quinolone resistance indicates Stenotrophomonas maltophilia as a potential source of a novel family of Qnr determinants.
The study identifies a chromosomally encoded qnr gene (smqnr) in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, which confers low-level quinolone resistance when expressed in E. coli.
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia of clinical origin display higher temperature tolerance comparing with environmental isolates.
The study identifies several AMR genes in clinical and environmental Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates, including beta-lactamases (bla L1, bla L2), aminoglycoside resistance genes (aph(9), aph(3), aph(6)), and a quinolone resistance gene (smqnr). Clinical isolates showed higher prevalence of these genes compared to environmental isolates.
