Epidemiological Characterizations of Class 1 Integrons from Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter Isolates in Daejeon, Korea

BACKGROUND Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter spp. acquire antimicrobial agent-resistance genes via class 1 integrons. In this study, integrons were characterized to investigate the antimicrobial resistance mechanisms of MDR Acinetobacter isolates. In addition, the relationship between the integron type and integron-harboring bacterial species was analyzed by using epidemiological typing m...

Detection of Integrons in Acinetobacter Baumannii Strains Isolated from the Nosocomial Infections of Ahvaz City and their Relation with the Resistance Pattern

Background and Aims: Acinetobacter baumannii is regarded as an important nosocomial pathogen around the world, especially in the intensive care unit that today seems to be resistant to the most antibiotics. Therefore, this study aimed to trace classes 1, 2, and 3 integrin in the isolates resistant to Acinetobacter baumannii. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, Acinetobacter bau...

Prevalence of class 1 integron among multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in Tabriz, northwest of Iran.

Integrons are associated with a variety of gene cassettes, which confer resistance to multiple classes of antibacterial drugs. In this study we tested the frequency of class 1 and 2 integrons among multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) clinical isolates. One hundred clinical isolates of A. baumannii were screened for carriage of class 1 and 2 integrons by PCR method. Results showe...

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...
