Correlation between class 1 integron of Escherichia coli and multidrug resistance in lower respiratory tract infection

open access: yesJournal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2017
Introduction: Class 1 integrons are mobile genetic elements considered to be responsible for the transfer of multidrug resistance. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of type 1 integrons in multidrug-resistantEscherichiacolifrom hospital ...

Structural compatibility between β‐lactams and substrate binding pockets of IMP‐1 and NDM‐1 determines the substrate spectrum

open access: yesBulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Chemical structures of three β‐lactam classes and the substrate‐binding pockets (SBPs) of B1 metallo‐β‐lactamases (MBLs) were compared. Structural compatibility between β‐lactams and MBL SBPs correlates with enzymatic activity, providing insights into the substrate spectrum of MBLs and β‐lactam resistance.

Integron-Mediated Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence Factors in Salmonella Typhimurium Isolated from Poultry

open access: yesAnimals
This study investigates antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) Salmonella Typhimurium in poultry, focusing on how class I integrons contribute to AMR and virulence. Using whole genome sequencing, researchers analyzed 26 S. Typhimurium isolates from U.S.

Manure Composting as a Strategy to Mitigate Antibiotic Resistance Dissemination in Agricultural Systems

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Livestock manure is a valuable agricultural resource but may introduce antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into the environment. This review critically evaluates the fate of antibiotics and ARGs during manure composting and identifies the principal factors controlling their attenuation.

Importance of integrons in the diffusion of resistance [PDF]

open access: yesVeterinary Research, 2001
Horizontal transfer of resistance genes is a successful mechanism for the transmission and dissemination of multiple drug resistance among bacterial pathogens. The impact of horizontally transmitted genetic determinants in the evolution of resistance is particularly evident when resistance genes are physically associated in clusters and transferred en ...

Integron Prevalence and Diversity in Manured Soil [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011
ABSTRACT The levels of integron abundance and diversity in soil amended with pig slurry were studied. Real-time PCR illustrated a significant increase in class 1 integron prevalence after slurry application, with increased prevalence still evident at 10 months after application.

The occurrence of antimicrobial resistance and class 1 integrons among commensal Escherichia coli isolates from infants and elderly persons

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2009
Background The aim of our study was to compare the presence of the intI1 gene and its associations with the antibiotic resistance of commensal Escherichia coli strains in children with/without previous antibiotic treatments and elderly hospitalized ...
