Prevalence and Characterization of Class I Integrons among Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates from Patients in Nanjing, China

Prevalence and characterization of class I integrons among Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from patients in Nanjing, China.

Class I integrons were detected in 40.8% (40/98) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains and 52.8% (56/106) of Acinetobacter baumannii strains in the Nanjing area of China, including several cassette arrays not previously reported.

Prevalence and Characterization of Class Integrons among Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates from Nanjing, China Running Title: Prevalence and Characterization of Integrons in China

Class 1 integrons in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from clinical isolates.

Resistance to various antimicrobial agents is an increasing problem in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii infections. In this study, the roles of integrons were examined in 101 P. aeruginosa isolates and 176 A. baumannii isolates from patients. The frequencies and characteristics of class 1, 2 and 3 integrons were investigated and the horizontal transfer of integrons was assesse...

Prevalence of Class 2 Integrons in Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii in Toxicological ICU Patients in Tehran

Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is an important opportunistic pathogen which causes complications in hospitalized patients, especially those in ICU. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of class 1 and 2 integrons in multi-drug resistance A. baumannii and to investigate the association between the presence of integrons and antibiotic resistance patterns. Methods: A total of...

prevalence of class 1, 2, and 3 integrons and biofilm formation in pseudomonas aeruginosa and acinetobacter baumannii among icu and non-icu patients

background: infections caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa or acinetobacter baumannii are of greatest concern for hospitalized patients, particularly those in intensive care units (icus). the aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of integrons and biofilm formation among p. aeruginosa and a. baumannii isolates collected from icu and non-icu inpatients. materials and methods: a total...
