We characterized two new gene cassettes in an Acinetobacter isolate: one harbored the
metallo-β-lactamase (IMP-4) gene bla IMP-4, the other harbored the rifampin ADP …

Integron carriage by 36 epidemiologically unrelated Acinetobacter baumannii isolates
collected over an 11-year period from patients in six different Italian hospitals was …

A collection of 70 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from Bilbao in northern Spain
was examined by PCR for the presence of class 1 integron structures. The organisms …

Integrons were sought in Acinetobacter isolates from hospitals in the United Kingdom by
integrase gene PCR. Isolates were compared by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and most …

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 Acinetobacter baumannii clonal complex 113/79 (CC113/79) and class 2 integrons
predominate in Latin America; a relationship between these characteristics was explored …

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen, which is an important
cause of pneumonia and bacteremia in patients in intensive care units (1). Increased …

We investigated a multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii outbreak in the Intensive
Care Unit (ICU) of a tertiary care hospital in Greece over a 3-month period. Molecular typing …

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

Objectives To analyse the dissemination of metallo-β-lactamase genes and mobile genetic
elements among Acinetobacter spp. Methods From January 2004 to December 2010, 16 …
