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 …

Recent studies have shown that integrons play a major role in spreading antibiotic
resistance genes in clinical settings, as antibiotic resistance genes are frequently found …

Rapid dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes among bacterial isolates is an increasing
problem in China. Integron, a conserved DNA sequence, which is carried on episomal …

One hundred and forty-two Enterobacteriaceae isolates randomly selected from four general
hospitals in Nanjing region of China were investigated for antibiotic susceptibility, the …

This study investigated 147 multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa isolates from hospitalized patients in Malaysia. Class 1 integrons were the most …

Integrons, which are widely distributed among bacteria and are strongly associated with
resistance, are specialized genetic elements that are capable of capturing, integrating, and …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of class 1 and class 2 integrons
and the presence of gene cassettes in resistant Escherichia coli isolates from farm animals …

Multi-drug resistant bacteria are a public health problem associated with high morbidity and
