From: Contribution of target alteration, protection and efflux pump in achieving high ciprofloxacin resistance in Enterobacteriaceae

Organism ID MIC (µg/mL) Plasmid mediated qnrS gene Efflux pump mediated resistance Amino acid substitution in QRDR of DNA gyrase subunit A
No. of plasmids extracted (approximate size in kb) Size (in kb) of plasmid harboring qnrS gene Effect of NMP on the action of CIP Amino acid substitution in regulatory gene products
