Dissemination of Class 1 Integron among Different Multidrug Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains
ABSTRACT Background and objectives: The present study was conducted to detect class 1 integrons and evaluate antibiotic susceptibility patterns among clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. Methods: Sixty clinical samples from blood, tracheal wounds, burns and uri...
متن کاملPrevalence 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...
متن کاملDissemination of class 1, 2 and 3 integrons among different multidrug resistant isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii in Tehran hospitals, Iran.
A total of 100 non-duplicate Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were collected from different hospitals in Tehran and were confirmed as A. baumannii by conventional biochemical and API testing. Antimicrobial susceptibility of these isolates was checked by a disk diffusion method in accordance with CLSI guidelines. The isolates were then detected as carrying class 1 and 2 integron gene cassettes b...
متن کاملPrevalence 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...
متن کاملClonal spread of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in eastern Taiwan.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study was conducted to investigate the molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii to three types of antibiotics. METHODS One hundred and thirty-four specimens of MDR A baumannii were collected from three branches (Taipei, Dalin, and Hualien branches) of Buddhist Tzu Chi Hospital, which are located in...
