Detection of class 1 integron in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates collected from nine hospitals in Turkey

Molecular Investigation of Resistance to Disinfectants in Acinetobacter Baumannii Isolates Collected From Qazvin Hospitals, Iran (2017)

Background Acinetobacter baumannii is an important agent of nosocomial infections. There are several reports on the presence of disinfectants-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii developed by qacE and qacEΔ1 genes in medical centers.  Objective The current study aimed to assess the relevant antimicrobial susceptibility and to determine the frequency of genes encoding resistance to disinfectants i...

Prevalence of Class 1 Integron in Klebsiella Pneumoniae Isolates from Hospitals of Sanandaj, Iran

Background and Aims: Integrons as mobile genetic elements are located on the chromosome or on a plasmid in bacteria. Integrons play a main role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes among different families of bacteria. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of class 1 integron in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from hospitals of Sanandaj, Kurdistan province, Iran. M...

Novel Acquired Metallo- -Lactamase Gene, blaSIM-1, in a Class 1 Integron from Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates from Korea

Type 1 integrons in epidemiologically unrelated Acinetobacter baumannii isolates collected at Spanish hospitals.

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen, which is an important cause of pneumonia and bacteremia in patients in intensive care units (1). Increased resistance to all commercial antimicrobial agents, including colistin, in clinical isolates of A. baumannii has been reported (7, 12). An important factor for the development of multiresistance is the acquisition of genetic e...

distribution of class i integron among isolates of acinetobacter baumannii recoverd from burn patients

b ackground : acinetobacter baumannii , is an important opportunistic pathogens   responsible   for   nosocomial   infections.   the   aim   of   this experiment  was  to  determine  prevalence  of  class  i  integron  in   a. baumannii strains isolated from burn patients in mottahari hospital and the drug susceptibility pattern. methods : there were 69 acinetobacter isolates, 68 (98.5%) were i...
