Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of tetracycline resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from nosocomial infections at Tehran hospitals
Objective(s):To date, the most important genes responsible for tetracycline resistance among Acinetobacter baumannii isolates have been identified as tet A and tet B. This study was carried out to determine the rate of resistance to tetracycline and related antibiotics, and mechanisms of resistance. Materials and Methods: During the years 2010 and 2011, a total of 100 A. baumannii isolates we...
متن کاملNovel 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.
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 کاملRisk factors for multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii nosocomial infection.
OBJECTIVE To assess factors associated with multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB) nosocomial infection. MATERIAL AND METHOD This hospital-based case-control study was conducted in patients admitted to Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005. The study population consisted of 155 cases with MDR-AB nosocomial infection and 310 controls w...
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...
