- - This study focused on understanding how integrons contribute to antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, particularly in ICU patients, with half of the 72 tested isolates coming from that setting.
- - Results showed that 76.4% of isolates were resistant to ceftazidime, while colistin was highly effective, with a 100% success rate; additionally, 55.5% of isolates had class 1 integrons and 29.1% had class 2 integrons.
- - A significant link was found between the presence of integrons and multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates, with MDR observed in 73.6% of integron-positive isolates versus 22.9% in
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 147 non-duplicate clinical isolates, 97.3% were found to be extensive drug-resistant (XDR), with class I and II integrons present in 63.9% and 78.2% of isolates, respectively; class III integrons were not detected.
- * The findings highlight a significant presence of class I and II integrons, suggesting they may contribute to multidrug resistance, prompting the need for improved infection control and treatment strategies in hospitals.
