Screening of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica clinical isolates (n=20) by PCR revealed the high prevalence of class 1 integrons (45%). Multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotypes were observed in all integron-positive isolates, regardless of the serotype. A significant correlation was found between the MDR phenotype and the presence of class 1 integrons in the isolates, especially in S. Typhimurium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
