Bacteremia caused by an Acinetobacter junii strain harboring class 1 integron and diverse DNA mobile elements [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Infections caused by Acinetobacter junii are rarely reported. However, some outbreaks of septicemia in neonates and pediatric oncology patients, as well as meningitis, peritonitis, and ocular infection have been described.

Variable Gene Cassette Patterns of Class 1 Integron-Associated Drug-Resistant Escherichia Coli in Taiwan

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2007
This study characterized class 1 integrons in Escherichia coli in Taiwan. The stability and changes in gene cassettes inserted into integrons were also evaluated. The study included 436 clinical strains of E. coli isolated in 2002. Class 1 integrons were

Triclocarban Influences Antibiotic Resistance and Alters Anaerobic Digester Microbial Community Structure [PDF]

, 2016
Triclocarban (TCC) is one of the most abundant organic micropollutants detected in biosolids. Lab-scale anaerobic digesters were amended with TCC at concentrations ranging from the background concentration of seed biosolids (30 mg/kg) to toxic ...

Class 1 integron in staphylococci [PDF]

Molecular Biology Reports, 2011
As a major concern in public health, methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) still remains one of the most prevalent pathogens that cause nosocomial infections throughout the world and has been recently labeled as a "super bug" in antibiotic resistance.

In vivo selection of resistant E. coli after ingestion of milk with added drug residues. [PDF]

, 2014
Antimicrobial resistance represents a major global threat to modern medicine. In vitro studies have shown that very low concentrations of drugs, as frequently identified in the environment, and in foods and water for human and animal consumption, can ...

Novel Gene Cassettes and Integrons [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2001
ABSTRACT An increase in multiresistant Enterobacteriaceae was observed at one of the departments of the University Medical Center Utrecht. Nine different integrons and 17 gene cassettes were found, including the new gene cassette aadA8 . This cassette was highly related to
