Integrons and gene cassettes in the enterobacteriaceae.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrons were detected in 59 of 120 (49%) urinary isolates of Enterobacteriaceae by PCR using degenerate primers targeted to conserved regions of class 1, 2, and 3 integrase genes. PCR sequencing analysis of the cassette arrays revealed a predominance of cassettes that confer resistance to the aminoglycosides and trimethoprim.

Occurrence of classes I and II integrons in Enterobacteriaceae collected from Zagazig University Hospitals, Egypt
Integrons are genetic units characterized by the ability to capture and incorporate gene cassettes, thus can contribute to the emergence and transfer of antibiotic resistance. The objectives of this study were: (1) to investigate the presence and distribution of class I and class II integrons and the characteristics of the gene cassettes they carry in Enterobacteriaceae isolated from nosocomial...

Introduction: Due to the increasing trend of antibiotic resistance in the Enterobacteriaceae family, treatment of infections caused by these bacteria has been difficult. The aim of this study was to identify of class I and II integrons and associated gene cassettes in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, of 500 strains isolat...
متن کاملPrevalence of Class 1 Integrons and Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases among Multi-Drug Resistant Escherichia coli Isolates from North of Iran
Background: Extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs) are an important cause of transferable multidrug resistance (MDR) in gram-negative bacteria. The most described ESBL genes are generally found within integron-like structures as mobile genetic elements. The aim of this study was to identify the accompanying of class 1 integrons and ESBLs in the MDR E. coli isolates. Methods: Susceptibility t...

Background and Objective: Horizontal transfer of integrons is the most successful transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes and the emergence of multi-drug resistance strains. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of class I and II integrons and their gene cassette assortments and antibiotic resistance profile in Escherichia coli strains isolated from diarrheal and uri...
متن کاملRapid screening technique for class 1 integrons in Enterobacteriaceae and nonfermenting gram-negative bacteria and its use in molecular epidemiology.
A screening technique for integrons in members of the family Enterobacteriaceae and nonfermenting gram-negative bacteria by real-time PCR is reported. A total of 226 isolates of gram-negative bacteria obtained from a variety of clinical specimens were screened for class 1 integrons by real-time PCR performed on a LightCycler instrument. This technique used a primer pair specific for a 300-bp co...
