Computational discovery and functional validation of novel fluoroquinolone resistance genes in public metagenomic data sets

BACKGROUND: Fluoroquinolones are broad-spectrum antibiotics used to prevent and treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Plasmid-mediated qnr genes provide resistance to fluoroquinolones in many bacterial species and are increasingly encountered in clinical settings. Over the last decade, several...
