Since plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance facilitates the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the increasing prevalence of harboring plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes is a public health concern. The objective of this study is to investigate the co-existence of PMQR and ESBL genes in isolates from retail raw chicken in South Korea. Among 67 ESBL-producing isolates from 40 retail raw chicken, more than half of them carried PMQR genes, including , ('), and . The was predominantly (91.4%) detected in isolates carrying both PMQR and ESBL. The (') was detected in seven ESBL-producing strains, and 85.7% of the (')-positive strains also carried . Moreover, the strains co-harboring and (') exhibited increased resistance to ciprofloxacin and kanamycin. These results demonstrate that PMQR genes are frequently detected in ESBL-producing isolates from retail raw chicken in South Korea.
由于质粒编码的抗生素耐药性促进了抗生素耐药菌的出现,携带质粒介导的喹诺酮耐药性(PMQR)和超广谱β-内酰胺酶(ESBL)基因的情况日益普遍,这是一个公共卫生问题。本研究的目的是调查韩国零售生鸡肉分离株中PMQR和ESBL基因的共存情况。在来自40份零售生鸡肉的67株产ESBL分离株中,超过一半携带PMQR基因,包括、(')和。在同时携带PMQR和ESBL的分离株中,主要(91.4%)检测到。在7株产ESBL菌株中检测到('),且85.7%的(')阳性菌株也携带。此外,同时携带和(')的菌株对环丙沙星和卡那霉素的耐药性增加。这些结果表明,在韩国零售生鸡肉的产ESBL分离株中经常检测到PMQR基因。
