ST11 carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) has been the dominant clone in China.
In this review, we trace the prevalence of ST11 CRKP in China Antimicrobial Surveillance …

It is well-established that the spread of many multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria is
predominantly clonal. Interestingly the international clones/sequence types (STs) of most …

public health challenge. In this work, we aim to investigate the diversity of species and …

In the present study a total of 200 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were collected from
patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Tehran, Iran. Antibiotic resistance was …

Purpose. Class 1 integrons are among the main vehicles that facilitate the spread of
antibiotic-resistance genes, with serious public health consequences. The aim of this cross …

Background. Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is an important multidrug‐
resistant extraintestinal pathogen, which can cause many kinds of infections. Integrons may …

Conjugative transposons in Gram-negative bacteria have a significant role in the
dissemination of antibiotic-resistance-conferring genes between bacteria. This study aims to …

Background/purpose Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) is broadly administered to
treat multiple infections, and the paucity of effective treatment alternatives for infections …

SUMMARY ant (MDR). Class I and II integrons were detected in 65 isolates (45.8%) and 1
(0.7%) isolate, respectively. The findings of this study revealed that the prevalence of …

Objectives: Dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global issue that requires
the adoption of a “One-Health” approach promoting integration of human and animal health …
