The class 1 integron is an important driver of the nosocomial dissemination of multidrug-
resistant (MDR) bacteria, such as Acinetobacters. In this study, we characterized the gene …

Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a serious problem in the hospital environment at
a global scale. Previous results from our laboratory showed a high frequency of class 2 …

Multidrug resistance (MDR) in Acinetobacter baumannii is increasingly reported and has
become a significant public concern. The method responsible for the acquisition of …

Objective To examine the distribution of integrons in genotypically unrelated worldwide
multiresistant clinical isolates of Acinetobacter spp. Methods The presence and genetic …

Infections and outbreaks caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB)
are prevalent and have been reported worldwide over the past 20 or more years. Class 1 …

Background Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter spp. acquire antimicrobial agent-
resistance genes via class 1 integrons. In this study, integrons were characterized to …

The epidemiology of emerging antibiotic resistance genes in Asia is inadequately defined
and studies within the major pools of transmissible genes such as integron gene cassettes …

The goal of this work was to systematically characterize and detect class 1, 2, and 3
integrons with many antibiotic resistance A. baumannii strains collected from a clinical …

Objective To determine whether non-epidemiologically related, antibiotic-resistant isolates
of Acinetobacter baumannii from different geographical origins posses common type 1 …

The emergence of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) by means of integrons in multidrug-
resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR A. baumannii) has become a significant challenge …
