We investigated the prevalence of multidrug resistance, production of extended-spectrum b-
lactamases (ESBLs), and presence of class 1 and 2 integrons in 150 clinical isolates of …

The present study describes integron mediated multiple antibiotic resistance in extended-
spectrum β-lactamase producing clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae. One hundred …

Background The aim of this study was to characterize class 1, 2 and 3 integrons in clinical
MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Kashan, Iran. Methods One hundred-eighty one …

Methods Isolates from 17890 clinical specimens were identified by API20E. Antibiotic
susceptibility testing and MIC were done for MDR isolates. For investigating class 1 …

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-
producing Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a serious antibiotic management problem as …

SUMMARY ant (MDR). Class I and II integrons were detected in 65 isolates (45.8%) and 1
(0.7%) isolate, respectively. The findings of this study revealed that the prevalence of …

Background Integrons are mobile genetic elements that play an important role in the
distribution of antibiotic-resistance genes among bacteria. This study aimed to investigate …

This study is concerned with the level of antibiotic resistance of extended-spectrum β-
lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, isolated in Shantou, China, and its …

Purpose: Klebsiella pneumoniae is considered an important pathogen causing nosocomial
and community-acquired infections and is often associated with the production of extended …

Background The emergence of highly drug-resistant K. pneumoniae, has become a major
public health challenge. In this work, we aim to investigate the diversity of species and …
