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

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...

فراوانی اینتگرون‌های کلاس I و II در ایزوله‌های بالینی سودوموناس آئروژینوزا مولد متالوبتالاکتاماز

Background and Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen. Evidence suggests that the incidence of enzyme-producing strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Metalo Beta Lactamases (MBL) is a major problem in the treatment of infections caused by this organism. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of class I and II integrons among metalobetalactamase pro...

Detection of Class 1 Integrons among Gram-negative Bacilli Isolated from Sputum Cultures of Patients with Lower Respiratory Tract Infections in Ahvaz, Iran

Introduction: Diffusion of antibiotic resistance genes by horizontal gene transfer has led to the fast emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) among bacteria. Multiple classes of integrons are effective genetic elements which play a significant role in the acquisition and nosocomial dissemination of resistance factors in strains of Gram-negative bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobact...

Investigating Class I, II and III Integrons in Multidrug Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Hospital Infections in Ahvaz

Background and Aims: The indiscriminate use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The presence of integrons in Pseudomonas is clearly associated with multidrug resistances. Therefore, this study aimed at tracking class I, II and III integrons of antibiotic-resistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa th...
