The integrons and insertion sequence common region 1 (ISCR1) of 329 carbapenem-non-
susceptible Gram-negative bacilli, excluding 60 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains, in …

Abstract Objective Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) infections result in higher
treatment costs and mortality rates. Integrons play important roles in emergence and spread …

A total of 368 nonreplicate gram-negative bacteria with resistance to imipenem or
meropenem were collected to search for carbapenemase genes, class 1 integrons, and …

Background The connection structure of class 1 integron and insertion sequence common
region 1 (IS CR1) is called “complex class 1 integrons” or “complex sul1-type integrons” …

Background and purpose To detect and characterize class 1 integrons among carbapenem-
resistant strains of Acinetobacter spp. at University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Kuala …

Non-duplicate multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (n= 1447) isolated from January
2008 to December 2009 were investigated for the presence of integrons as well as …

Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) widely exists in the hospital environment and is one of
the important conditional pathogens of hospital-acquired infection. To investigate the …

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

Integrons are mobile genetic elements able to capture, express and excise resistance
genes, playing an important role in the spread of bacterial resistance. The present study was …

The dissemination of many antibiotic resistance genes has arisen among members of the
family Enterobacteriaceae. The dissemination mechanism of these antibiotic resistance …
