qnrA and qnrS encode proteins that protect DNA gyrase from fluoroquinolone binding, conferring reduced susceptibility. They are commonly found in gram-negative organisms and may coexist with other resistance mechanisms.
Detection of qnrA or qnrS in molecular susceptibility testing guides antibiotic selection and supports infection control. Sample type is typically a culture isolate or direct clinical specimen.
