Abstrakt: ABSTRACTClinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniaeand Enterobacterspp. collected from 1990 through 2005 at a tertiary care center were studied for qnrgenes. Isolates bearing these genes emerged in the mid-1990s, coinciding with the time of a rapid increase in fluoroquinolone resistance. Sixty percent of these isolates were ciprofloxacin susceptible by CLSI breakpoints.
