Identification of the new variant QepA3, a plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinant, collected in a CMY-2-producing Escherichia coli

The efflux pump QepA confers decreased susceptibility to hydrophilic fluoroquinolones (e.g., norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and enrofloxacin). In this study, we characterized the third variant, named qepA3, collected from an Escherichia coli isolate in Portugal. INSRA6015 was isolated in 2005 from the...
