Molecular characterization of class 1 integrons from Irish thermophilic Campylobacter spp.

PFGE genotyping and molecular characterization of Campylobacter spp. isolated from chicken meat

A total of 70 samples were collected from chicken meat obtained from 10 markets in Tehran, Iran from which 39 Campylobacter coli were isolated. Among 10 antibiotics used, maximum resistance was seen to trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (SXT) (97.36%), nalidixic acid (94.8%), ciprofloxacin (87.7%), streptomycin (89.72%), and tetracycline (97.4%). No resistance was to gentamycin was observed. None o...

Molecular diversity of class 1 integrons in human isolates of Aeromonas spp. from southern Taiwan.

This work studies antimicrobial resistance and class 1 integrons of Aeromonas spp. in human isolates from southern Taiwan. PCR amplification and DNA sequence analyses were performed to characterize the gene cassette regions of the class 1 integron in 204 isolates of Aeromonas hydrophila, 36 isolates of A. sobria, 23 isolates of A. veronii, and 4 isolates of A. caviae. By using Southern hybridiz...

Economic cultivation of "thermophilic" Campylobacter spp.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Thermophilic Campylobacter spp. Isolated from Environmental Samples in Tonekabon

The major purpose of this study was isolation, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. from different sources including domestic animals (cow, sheep, horses), poultry, river water and sewage in Tonekabon. Campylobacter spp. was isolated using prêt-KB method and identified by phenotyping tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates against differ...

Absence of class 1 and class 2 integrons among Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolated from poultry in Italy.

in the GenBank non-redundant DNA database was examined. Two additional cases of ISAba1 associated with distinct ampC alleles were found in accession numbers EU604835 8 and AY325306. 3 In both of them, the IS was again in the same orientation and separated from the ATG initiation codon of ampC by 9 bp. The number of single nucleotide differences between the various ampC alleles is shown in Table...
