qnr Numbering and SequenceIn 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 can be directed to george.a.jacoby@lahey.org.
QnrB46 is identical to QnrB53 and QnrB47 is the same as QnrB51.
