Association of the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinant QnrA and the blaVEB-1 gene was identified in a single Enterobacter cloacae isolate from K.-Bicêtre, France, and in 11 out of 23 blaVEB-1-positive enterobacterial isolates from Bangkok, Thailand. This result may explain in part the association between quinolone and extended-spectrum ß-lactam resistance.
