Determination of Integron Frequency by a Polymerase Chain Reaction–Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Method in Multidrug-Resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> , Which Causes Urinary Tract Infections

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of integrons in Escherichia coli, which cause urinary tract infections, and to define the association between integrons and antimicrobial susceptibility. Susceptibility of 200 isolates from urine samples of patients suffering from urinary tract infections to 13 antibiotics was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The existence of class1 and 2...
