Mutational Diversity in the Quinolone Resistance-Determining Regions of Type-II Topoisomerases of <i>Salmonella</i> Serovars

Quinolone resistance in bacterial pathogens has primarily been associated with mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of bacterial type-II topoisomerases, which are DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Depending on the position and type of the mutation (s) in the QRDRs, bacter...

description Quinolone resistance in bacterial pathogens has primarily been associated with mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of bacterial type-II topoisomerases, which are DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Depending on the position and type of the mutation (s) in the QRDRs, bacteria either become partially or completely resistant to quinolone. QRDR mutations have been identified and characterized in <i>Salmonella enterica</i> isolates from around the globe, particularly during the last decade, and efforts have been made to understand the propensity of different serovars to carry such mutations. Because there is currently no thorough analysis of the available literature on QRDR mutations in different <i>Salmonella</i> serovars, this review aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the mutational diversity in QRDRs of <i>Salmonella</i> serovars, summarizing the literature related to both typhoidal and non-typhoidal <i>Salmonella</i> serovars with a special emphasis on recent findings. This review will also discuss plasmid-mediated quinolone-resistance determinants with respect to their additive or synergistic contributions with QRDR mutations in imparting elevated quinolone resistance. Finally, the review will assess the contribution of membrane transporter-mediated quinolone efflux to quinolone resistance in strains carrying QRDR mutations. This information should be helpful to guide the routine surveillance of foodborne <i>Salmonella</i> serovars, especially with respect to their spread across countries, as well as to improve laboratory diagnosis of quinolone-resistant <i>Salmonella</i> strains.
