Novel Rearrangement of a Class 2 Integron in Two Non-Epidemiologically Related Isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii

Novel rearrangement of a class 2 integron in two non-epidemiologically related isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii.

Tn7::In2-8 contains sat2-aadB-catB2(deltaattC)-dfrA1-sat2-aadA1-orfX in the variable region of a class 2 integron embedded in the Tn7-like transposon. This novel transposon was inserted in its preferred site downstream of the glms gene in Acinetobacter baumannii. Acquisition of the pseudocassette catB2 could have arisen by a secondary-site integrase-mediated intermolecular recombination event.

distribution of class i integron among isolates of acinetobacter baumannii recoverd from burn patients

b ackground : acinetobacter baumannii , is an important opportunistic pathogens   responsible   for   nosocomial   infections.   the   aim   of   this experiment  was  to  determine  prevalence  of  class  i  integron  in   a. baumannii strains isolated from burn patients in mottahari hospital and the drug susceptibility pattern. methods : there were 69 acinetobacter isolates, 68 (98.5%) were i...

Novel Acquired Metallo- -Lactamase Gene, blaSIM-1, in a Class 1 Integron from Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates from Korea

Evaluation of five susceptibility test methods for detection of tobramycin resistance in a cluster of epidemiologically related Acinetobacter baumannii isolates.

Acinetobacter baumannii is a major nosocomial pathogen causing infections in critically ill patients. This organism has acquired the propensity to rapidly develop resistance to most antibiotics. At several hospitals within Cape Town, South Africa, tobramycin and colistin are frequently the only therapeutic options. Vitek2 automated susceptibility testing (AST) is used in the clinical laboratory...

Prevalence 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...
