From the Urinary Catheter to the Prevalence of Three Classes of Integrons, β‐Lactamase Genes, and Differences in Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Proteus mirabilis and Clonal Relatedness with Rep‐PCR

Abstract excerpt

Introduction. Proteus mirabilis is a biofilm‐forming agent that quickly settles on the urinary catheters and causing catheter‐associated urinary tract infections. Thus, the spread of multidrug‐resistant P. mirabilis isolates, with the ability to form a biofilm that carries integron, extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBLs), and plasmid‐mediated colistin resistance genes (mcr), represents a severe threat to managing...
