Resistance integrons: class 1, 2 and 3 integrons

Antimicrobial Resistance Pattern and Prevalence of Class 1, 2, and 3 Integrons in Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella Pneumoniae in Loghman-E Hakim Hospital, Tehran

Abstract Background and Objective: Multiple drug resistance has increased in recent years in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. The Integrons are mobile genetic elements that carry antibiotics resistance genes. The aim of this study was to determine antibiotic susceptibility and the prevalence of class 1, 2, and 3 integrons in clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from clinical specimens. Materi...

Quantitative multiplex real-time PCR for detecting class 1, 2 and 3 integrons.

OBJECTIVES Integrons are bacterial genetic elements that can capture and express genes contained in mobile cassettes. Integrons have been described worldwide in Gram-negative bacteria and are a marker of antibiotic resistance. We developed a specific and sensitive Taqman probe-based real-time PCR method with three different primer-probe pairs for simultaneous detection of the three main classes...

detection of class 1, 2, and 3 integrons among klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from children in tehran hospitals

background: ctx-m-type β-lactamases are increasingly becoming the predominant esbls globally in recent years. integrons are genetic elements which can integrate gene cassettes, usually antibiotic resistance genes. objectives: the aims were to determine antibiotic susceptibility and to detect genes encoding ctx-m-1 group enzymes and class 1, 2, and 3 integrons among the klebsiella pneumoniae iso...

Antimicrobial Resistance, Class 1 Integrons, and Genomic Island 1 in Salmonella Isolates from Vietnam

BACKGROUND The objective was to investigate the phenotypic and genotypic resistance and the horizontal transfer of resistance determinants from Salmonella isolates from humans and animals in Vietnam. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The susceptibility of 297 epidemiologically unrelated non-typhoid Salmonella isolates was investigated by disk diffusion assay. The isolates were screened for the p...
