Quinolones and fluoroquinolones are used successfully in the treatment of salmonellosis particularly for infections that have become resistant to several antibiotics. But non-susceptible isolates to quinolones have been reported in several countries. The data are limited about the prevalence of quinolone-resistant isolates in our country. Therefore, this study investigated the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes in<jats:italic>Salmonella enterica<\/jats:italic>isolated in Children's Medical Center in Tehran during 2014-2015.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and Materials:<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic>isolates were isolated and identified using standard microbiological methods. Antibiotic susceptibility testing and screening of<jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic>strains resistant to quinolones were performed according to the CLSI guidelines. The molecular investigation was done using specific primers for detection of qnr genes including:<jats:italic>qnr<\/jats:italic>A,<jats:italic>qnr<\/jats:italic>B and<jats:italic>qnr<\/jats:italic>S, by polymerase chain reaction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, 92 (66.6%) strains were resistant to nalidixic acid. None of the strains showed resistance to ciprofloxacin. Out of the 92 nalidixic acid resistant strains, 52 (56.52%) harbored<jats:italic>qnr<\/jats:italic>S genes, 15 strains (16.30%) had both<jats:italic>qnr<\/jats:italic>A and<jats:italic>qnr<\/jats:italic>S genes. Two (1.1%) isolates were positive for<jats:italic>qnr<\/jats:italic>B gene.
