Abstract (EN): The presence of qnr and gepA genes was investigated among 300 nontyphoidal Salmonella showing decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin obtained from different sources in Portugal (2002-2004). The qnrS1 gene was located within a conjugative IncN plasmid in a ST11 Salmonella Enteritidis strain from human origin, a serotype commonly implicated in human infections and frequently encountered in poultry.
