Genetic diversity analyses of class 1 integrons and their associated antimicrobial resistance genes in Enterobacteriaceae strains recovered from aquatic habitats in China.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To characterize the molecular diversity of class 1 integrons and antibiotic resistance (AR) genes of Enterobacteriaceae strains recovered from aquatic habitats in Jinan, Shandong Province, China. METHODS AND RESULTS: Six hundred and thirty-eight antimicrobial-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolated from wastewater were examined for class 1 integron. Of these, 293 were positive for the class 1 integrase gene...
