Abstrakt:	Introduction: According to the World Health Organization, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a silent global pandemic that plagues everyone. It makes therapy of infectious diseases more difficult and eventually increases morbidity and mortality. Aim: The purpose of this work is to examine existing data on plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR), to assess the prevalence of PMQR genes in Enterobacterales, and to determine any knowledge gaps from sub-Saharan Africa. Methodology: The Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) standard was followed when conducting this systematic review. The main internet databases examined for pertinent publications were PubMed, Google Scholar, and Ajol. A set of qualifying criteria were used to evaluate the qualified articles. Using the eligibility criteria, 56 full-text articles were chosen for screening. Result: Thirty-two (32) articles with the majority originating from West and North Africa and only one article reporting a study carried out in Central Africa were selected for this review. Escherichia coli and Ciprofloxacin were the most reported Enterobacterales and Quinolone respectively. The PMQR genes include qnr (qnrA,qnrB, qnrC, qnrD, and qnrS), aac (6') Ib, aac (6') Ib-cr, oqxAB and qepA gene. The most prevalent PMQR gene is the aac (6') Ib-cr gene (32%) followed by qnrS (26%). Conclusion: This study highlighted the requirement for an efficient antimicrobial resistance surveillance system in the continent and revealed a significant incidence of PMQR genes.
