Genetic Analysis of Integrons among Methicillin-resistant and Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Nosocomial Infections [PDF]

Majallah-i dānishgāh-i ̒ulūm-i pizishkī-i Arāk, 2017
Background: Integrons are mobile genetic elements that play an important role in dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes. The aim of present study is to determine the antibiotic resistance profile, frequency of integrons genes (class 1, 2, 3) and ...

Investigation of class 1 integrons in Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical and microbiota isolates belonging to different phylogenetic groups in Recife, State of Pernambuco

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2014
Introduction The high prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections is related to the ability of K. pneumoniae to acquire and disseminate exogenous genes associated with mobile elements, such as R plasmids, transposons and integrons.

Global dissemination patterns of common gene cassette arrays in class 1 integrons

Microbiology, 2015
Integrons are genetic elements that contain a site-specific recombination system able to capture, express and exchange gene cassettes. Mobile integrons are widespread and often confer resistance to multiple antibiotics, due to the expression of the arrays of gene cassettes they carry.

Antibiotics Resistance and Integron Class 1 among Commonsal Escherichia coli

AL-QADISIYAH MEDICAL JOURNAL, 2018
Normal intestinal microbiota are a reservoir for antibiotic resistance (genes) especially Escherichia coli (E. coli). The goal of this study was to investigate the prevalence of integrons class 1 and antibiotic resistance among commensal E. coli isolates and detect the association of integron class 1 with antibiotic resistance (single or multiple drug ...

Inverse Correlation between Promoter Strength and Excision Activity in Class 1 Integrons

PLoS Genetics, 2010
Class 1 integrons are widespread genetic elements that allow bacteria to capture and express gene cassettes that are usually promoterless. These integrons play a major role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance among Gram-negative bacteria. They typically consist of a gene (intI) encoding an integrase (that catalyzes the gene cassette movement ...

The Molecular Investigation of Class 1 and 2 Integrons among the Escherichia Coli Isolated from Urine Samples of Children in Imam Reza Hospital, Kermanshah City, Iran, in 2016

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2017
Background: One of the most successful advances in bacteria is transmission of antibiotic resistance genes by integrons, which leads to the emergence of multiple drug resistant (MDR) species. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of class

Detection of Integrons in Escherichia coli Associated With Urinary Tract Infections in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

International Journal of Microbiology
Treatment of Escherichia coli infections has become increasingly challenging due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant mechanisms within the bacterial genome. Integrons play an essential role in spreading antibiotic resistance.
