<i>qnrE1</i>, found in a clinical <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> isolate, was undetectable by PCR assays used for the six <i>qnr</i> families. <i>qnrE1</i> was located on a conjugative plasmid (ca. 185 kb) and differed from <i>qnrB</i> alleles by 25%. Phylogenetic reconstructions of <i>qnr</i> genes and proteins and analysis of the <i>qnrE1</i> surroundings showed that this gene belongs to a new <i>qnr</i> family and was likely mobilized by IS<i>Ecp1</i> from the chromosome of <i>Enterobacter</i> ...[more]
