qnr Numbering and Sequence

In 2008 a group of investigators interested in qnr genes published a proposed numbering scheme to reduce the chaos that had developed from new sequences being given the same qnr number or having the number changed frequently in an attempt to avoid duplication (1). The following tables list those assignments. They can be downloaded as Excel files by clicking on the symbol next to the title. Application for new allele numbers should no longer be directed to gajacoby50@gmail.com but to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pathogens/submit-beta-lactamase. NCBI has taken over new qnr assignments.

QnrB53 and QnrB46 are identical, QneB51 is the same as QnrB47, QnrB76 is QnrB9, and QnrB79 and QnrB78 are identical. A Qnr differing in 30 amino acids from QnrB1 was found in K. pneumoniae and initially assigned QnrB88 (GenBank ANI75684) but subsequently redesignated as QnrE1 (GenBank APC93960). A Qnr differing in 22 amino acids from QnrB1, with 8 of the substitutions at novel positions, has been found in Citrobacter sp. and provisionally assigned QnrB89
