| dc.description | A hundred and six Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from clinical cases were screened using PCR for the presence of integrons and associated resistance gene cassettes. Forty-four isolates harboured class 1 integrons (41.5%), of which 29 isolates (66%) also carried gene cassettes. The aacA gene was most frequently found within class 1 integrons (69%), followed by blaOXA family genes (52%). From class 1 integron-positive strains, we detected a total of 15 isolates (34%) carrying no gene cassettes. Restriction fragment-length polymorphism analysis of the integrons variable region revealed some identical structures, as well as distinct profiles indicating heterogeneity among these cassette regions. Multiresistance was observed in 71% of isolates, nevertheless no strong correlation was observed between integron presence and multiresistance. This is the first report showing class 1 integron prevalence and gene cassette content in P. aeruginosa isolates from clinical settings in the Brazilian Amazon. | |
