Sir,
Currently, a variety of qnrA, B and S genes are commonly isolated from clinically important Enterobacteriaceae.1 Moreover, qnr genes have been detected in non-typhi Salmonella enterica serotypes in Europe, the United States, Africa, Australia and Asia.2
In a recent study, the presence of qnrA1 in the Netherlands was first detected in a multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae carrying a conjugative R plasmid originating from a large outbreak in the University Medical Centre Utrecht (UMCU).3 In The Netherlands, data
