qnr Gene Nomenclature
Open accessAbstract
Since the plasmid-borne quinolone resistance gene qnr was reported in 1998 (8), many additional qnr alleles have been discovered on plasmids or the bacterial chromosome (reviewed in references 9 and 13). The plasmid-borne qnr genes currently comprise three families, qnrA, qnrB, and qnrS, differing from each other 40% or more in nucleotide sequence. Within each family, minor (≤10%) variation in sequence has defined a growing number of alleles. For the qnrA and qnrS families, the number of variants has been manageable, with general agreement on allele designations, but lately, the number of qnrB sequences submitted to GenBank has exploded, with the same qnrB allele number claimed for dissimilar sequences by different investigators and the same entry given new allele numbers from week to week.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
