Between 1998 and 2000, we characterized 91 nosocomial isolates of Acinetobacter
baumannii by antibiotyping and genotyping. A total of 25 ribotypes were obtained among …

An unusual class 1 integron was identified that carries an IS26-disrupted aadA1 gene
cassette (designated as 'integron-IS26') in an imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii …

Sixty-three clinical isolates of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus–baumannii complex were
analyzed for the presence of integrons and antimicrobial resistance. Class 1 integrons were …

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

Background: Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a critical pathogen with high
morbidity and mortality in long-term hospitalized patients who stay in intensive care units …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the diversity of the genes encoding
aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes and their association with class 1 integrons in three pan …

Seventy‐seven Acinetobacter isolates were recovered from patients in a Korean hospital
during the period from November to December 1998. The isolates were genotyped using …

Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most frequent pathogens implicated in nosocomial
infections, particularly in the Intensive Care Unit. It has a remarkable propensity to rapidly …

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 …
