Abstract

In this study, the prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) was investigated in 495 isolates from diseased food-producing animals in Guangdong province, China. The quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of the and genes were analysed for mutations in 55 isolates harbouring only and all isolates harbouring other PMQR genes. Overall, 282 (57.0 %) isolates had at least one PMQR gene. was detected in 215 isolates and predominated the PMQR genes, followed by (63 isolates), (56 isolates), (39 isolates) and (18 isolates). , and were not found in any of the isolates. The rates of resistance to ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, levofloxacin and nalidixic acid were 75.2, 81.0, 70.5 and 97.4 %, respectively, among the 495 isolates. Eight types of mutation in were detected in 154 PMQR-positive isolates, and 147 isolates were found to have mutations in . PFGE analysis indicated that the PMQR-positive isolates were genetically diverse. This study demonstrated that the number of mutations in QRDRs of and/or was significantly associated with the MICs of quinolones (<0.01). The rates of resistance to ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin and nalidixic acid in PMQR-positive isolates were significantly higher than those in PMQR-negative isolates (<0.05). In addition, the prevalence of had significant Spearman correlation coefficients in relation to the MICs of all four tested quinolones (<0.01).
