Molecular Study of Nodulation Division Genes and Integron Genes in Acinetobacter baumannii |
Background: Acinetobacter is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen, primarily associated with hospital-acquired infections. Antibiotic resistance in Acinetobacter is mainly mediated by efflux systems. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of adeA, adeI, adeJ, and adeY genes in Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) by PCR, assess the presence of integron genes by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and relate the presence of these genes to antimicrobial resistance of the clinically isolated A. baumannii.
