Investigation of Integron-Associated Resistance Gene Cassettes in Urinary Isolates of in Yasuj, Southwestern Iran During 2015-16.

Background: Growing antibiotic resistance among urinary opportunistic pathogens such as has created a worrisome condition in the treatment of the Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in recent years. Integrons play a significant role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes.
