Relationship between antimicrobial resistance and class I integron in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical specimens in Yazd during 2012-2013

摘要: Background: Antimicrobial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been increasing recent years. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between antimicrobial and class I integron P. isolated from clinical specimens Yazd city. Materials Methods: This cross-sectional carried out on 144 strains April 2012 2013. All samples were initially identified by biochemical method antibiotic test performed using disc diffusion according CLSI recommendations. PCR for detection integron. Results: Seventy-nine (54.9%) patients male with mean age 34.9+22.7 Resistance rates various antibiotics as follows: gentamicin (63.2%), imipenem (62.5%), amikacin (58.3%), ceftazidime (56.9%), ticarcillin (55.6%), tobramycin piperacillin ciprofloxacin (48.6%) 75.3% isolates detected multi-drug resistant. results showed that 119 (82.6%) Conclusion: Class integrons are commonly found samples. Therefore, transfer genes is often related these contribution should be evaluated.
