We examined Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. from US hospitals for class 1 integrons. Of 320 isolates, 181 (57%) were positive; association of integrons with resistance varied by drug and organism. Thus, determining integron epidemiology will improve understanding of how antibacterial resistance determinants spread in the United States.
我们检测了美国医院的大肠杆菌和克雷伯菌属菌株中的1类整合子。在320株分离菌中,181株(57%)呈阳性;整合子与耐药性的关联因药物和菌种而异。因此,确定整合子的流行病学情况将有助于更好地理解抗菌药物耐药决定因素在美国的传播方式。
