Research Abstract |
Increase of quinolone-resistant bacteria is an important clinical problem. In the current project, the role of quinolone resistance determinant qnrB, which is located in the chromosome of certain Citrobacter species, for thebacterial stress response was focused.λ-Red recombinase system was applied for generating knock out qnrB-like gene in the chromosome of C. braakii ATCC51113_T. Expression of qnrB-like gene, as well as SOS-response genes, was increased when C. braakii ATCC51113_T was exposed to quinolone. Other antimicrobials might affect the expression of qnrB-like gene.
