In this study, the prevalence of the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes among pediatric clinical isolates ofEscherichia coliandKlebsiella pneumoniaewas investigated. A total of 243 nonduplicate clinical isolates ofE. coliandK. pneumoniaecollected between January 2010 and December 2012 from Beijing, China, were studied. In total, 55 isolates (22.63%) were positive for PMQR genes, the most frequently detected gene wasqnrS(13.2%), followed byaac(6′)-Ib-cr(6.2%) andqnrB(3.7%). TheqnrAandqepAgenes were not detected. Furthermore, 92.73% (51/55) produced extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and 21.82% (12/55) were resistant to quinolones. DNA sequencing results showed that 14.55% (8/55) of isolates possessedgyrAmutations, while 1.82% (1/55) hadparCmutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR). Nalidixic acid or ciprofloxacin resistance of the transconjugants increased from 2- to 32-fold.Enterobacterialrepetitive intergenic consensus sequence polymerase chain reaction typing indicated that most isolates were not clonally related. Our findings showed that the PMQR detection rate among pediatric clinical isolates ofE. coliandK. pneumoniaewas high in China. PMQR-positive strains were more common among ESBL-producing and ciprofloxacin-susceptible isolates. Conjugation experiments showed that these isolates could be transferred horizontally. The present study highlights the high prevalence of PMQR in Chinese pediatrics who are not treated with quinolones.
