Investigation of Integron-Associated Resistance Gene Cassettes in Urinary Isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae in Yasuj Southwestern Iran During 2015–16

摘要

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. The present study was conducted to investigate class 1–3 integrons and the corresponding resistance gene cassettes in urinary isolates.
