Production of Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is a common mechanism of resistance in multidrug- Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but the frequency of different ESBLs may vary significantly in different parts of the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of OXA-2/OXA-10 type ESBLs and class 1 integron among clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa in Ta...

The present study was aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of Salmonella isolated from meat samples of commercial broilers (CB) and spent hens (SH). Between March and June 2016, 200 retail raw chicken carcasses (100 from CB and 100 from SH) were obtained from local supermarkets in Tai'an city of China, and Salmonella isolates were then analyzed for antibiotic resistance, seroty...

Recently another MITE-like structure, called the integron mobilization unit (IMU), has been described flanking a defective class 1 integron harbouring a carbapenem resistance gene, blaGES-5, in a clinical Enterobacter cloacae strain. Although the IMU sequence is not related to the MITE reported in our study, IMU-based mobilization of the integron could be demonstrated using a transposase provid...

The aadA genes, encoding resistance to streptomycin and spectinomycin, have been found as gene cassettes in different gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial species. The present study has revealed the sequence of a new gene, aadA5, integrated as a gene cassette together with the trimethoprim resistance gene dfr7 in a class 1 integron. The integron was located on a plasmid and was identified ...

This study was aimed to find out that broiler chicken farms have problems with antibiotic resistance Citrobacter freundii and determined the prevalence class 1 integron encoding gene. Multidrug collected from among one hundred sixty cloacal swab samples 32 in Blitar for 3 months. The method of bacterial inoculation used MacConkey agar biochemical test conducted by IMViC TSIA test. sensitivity p...
