Quantitative determination of the plasmid copy number of the qnrA gene. Dot-blot analysis was performed following serial dilution (300 ng, 150 ng, 75 ng and 37.5 ng) of plasmid DNA (pDNA). Lanes: 1, 2 and 3, UAB1, N5 and 1960-derived transconjugants; 4, negative control Escherichia coli J53AzR; 5, 6 and 7, clinical isolates UAB1, N5 and 1960.

Comparative analysis of the increase of qnrA expression in the presence of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and moxifloxacin (MXF). (A) Basal expression of the qnrA gene in the three different transconjugants. (B) qnrA transcription in the presence of CIP and MXF at 0.4 × MIC for 4 h in transconjugants (TC) derived from UAB1, N5 and 1960 isolates. NI, cells cultured in the absence of antibiotics.
