You can use ESBL-producing E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae (already positive for fluoroquinolone resistant gene) strains for detecting fluoroquinolone resistance genes.

You can find many ATCC cultures which harbor this resistant gene. I have found this one (Klebsiella pneumoniae (Schroeter) Trevisan (ATCC® BAA-2788™)) which have shown to be resistant to fluoroquinolone (Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin etc.). The strain have been positive for many resistant genes.
