Background The aim of this study was to characterize class 1, 2 and 3 integrons in clinical
MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Kashan, Iran. Methods One hundred-eighty one …

We investigated the prevalence of multidrug resistance, production of extended-spectrum b-
lactamases (ESBLs), and presence of class 1 and 2 integrons in 150 clinical isolates of …

Background Integrons are mobile genetic elements that play an important role in the
distribution of antibiotic-resistance genes among bacteria. This study aimed to investigate …

Background Klebsiella pneumoniae strains carrying class 1 integrons are becoming more
common worldwide, and their role in the dissemination of drug resistance is significant. The …

Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the leading causes of hospital outbreaks
worldwide. Also, antibiotic-resistant K. pneumoniae is progressively being involved in …

Integrons are mobile genetic elements located on transposons, plasmids and bacterial
chromosomes. These elements play a key role in spreading resistance gene cassettes to …

Background The emergence of highly drug-resistant K. pneumoniae, has become a major
public health challenge. In this work, we aim to investigate the diversity of species and …

Objectives The role of integrons in the transfer of antibiotic resistance is one of the important
issues, therefore, this study is aimed to investigate antibiotic resistance pattern and …

Klebsiella pneumoniae FFUL 22K was isolated in April 1999 from the urine of an intensive
care unit patient in Portugal. The strain showed an extended-spectrum cephalosporin …

Transference of resistance determinants by integrons is one of the important factors that can
contribute to the increase in multi-resistant bacteria. We determined the prevalence and …
