The unusual 3' conserved sequence region of class 1 integrons was characterized in seven Salmonella isolates from swine and poultry. Three types of gene cassette arrays, aadA2-cmlA1-aadA1, sat-psp-aadA2-cm1A1-aadA1 and drfA12-orf-aadA2-cmlA1-aadA1, were found to be linked to a genetic organization qacH-IS440-sul3. All class 1 integrons were located on a conjugative plasmid that could be transfe...

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...

Despite of a high abundance antibiotics, heavy metals, and organic matters detected in the Saigon River Ho Chi Minh City, level spread antibiotic resistance genes this river are poorly understood. In study, total 10 (ARGs), including conferring to aminoglycosides (aac(6)-Ib-cr), β-lactam antibiotics (blaCTX-M, blaSHV, blaTEM), quinolones (qnrA, qnrB), sulfonamides (sul1, sul2), trimethoprim (df...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the phylogenetic groups, antibiotic resistance, resistance genes (ARGs), integrons, extraintestinal virulence and genetic diversity Escherichia coli isolates from human urinary tract infection. Methods: A total 100 E. were collected patients with infections in Kerala, South India. Antibiotic susceptibility testing all against different an...

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...
