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 …

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 …

Background Klebsiella pneumoniae strains carrying class 1 integrons are becoming more
common worldwide, and their role in the dissemination of drug resistance is significant. The …

Objectives This study describes the distribution of integrons and phylogenetic groups among
clinical highly virulent serotype (HVS) Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in a Chinese tertiary …

To investigate molecular mechanism of multi-resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae and its
spreading, 179 strains isolated from different clinical samples in the period of 2002-2007 …

Objective The aim of our study is to investigate the prevalence of Carbapenem-resistant
Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and the genetic characteristics of the class 1 integron in …

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

Klebsiella pneumoniae is by far one of the most common Enterobacteriaceae associated
with hospital-acquired infections. The dissemination of multi drug resistant Klebsiella …

We analyzed extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (226) and
Klebsiella pneumoniae (53) collected from urine specimens during 2005–2009 for the …

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 …
