Abstract In Latin America, the disease burden of shigellosis is found to coexist with the rapid and rampant spread of resistance to commonly used antibiotics. The molecular basis of antibiotic resistance lies within genetic elements such as plasmids, transposons, integrons, genomic islands, etc., which are found in the bacterial genome. Integrons are known to acquire, exchange, and express genes within gene cassettes and it is hypothesized that they play a significant role in the transmission of multidrug resistance genes in several Gram-negative bacteria including Shigella. A few studies have described antibiotic resistance genes and integrons among multidrug resistant Shigella isolates found in Latin America. For example, in Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Costa... |

This study shows for the first time the mechanism of carbapenem resistance of a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate TJ8 recovered from Tianjin medical university general hospital ,China. The modified Hodge test and EDTA synergy test were performed for the screening of carbapenemases and metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), respectively. Polymerase chain reactions and DNA sequencing confirmed that the strain carried IMP-4 metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) , SHV-11 and TEM-1 β-lactamase. ClassⅠintegron was positive and gave a 3.0-kb PCR amplicon .IMP-4 was located in ClassⅠintegron 5'CS. The gene determinants were organized in the order of blaIMP-4-orfII-orfIII.In all, the results show that IMP-4 MBL production caused the TJ8 resistance to carbapenems. |

The expansion of global poultry production has increased the need to reduce or control the agents responsible for economic losses, including Salmonella spp. These bacteria are also of public health concern due to their potential to cause food poisoning, and, more recently, due to the antimicrobial resistance presented by these bacteria. Molecular biology is an important tool currently used in the diagnosis and research studies of main poultry diseases. The present studied analyzed 100 samples of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) isolated from avian material aiming at detecting the class 1 integron gene, Integroninvolved in antimicrobial resistance, by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and comparing it with plate inhibition test. Subsequently, SE samples... |
