Abstract
The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of class 1, 2, and 3 integrons in clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from hospitalized patients. A total of 100 A. baumannii isolates were collected from several Imam Khomeini hospitals in Ilam, Iran. A. baumannii was discovered by traditional biochemical research. Following that, PCR was employed to detect several integron classes. Biochemical testing was used to identify Acinetobacter species. The samples obtained from patients (patients aged 21 to 69 years old, including 55 males and 45 women): Acinetobacter baumannii was found in 100 samples, Acinetobacter lufii in 25, and other Acinetobacter species in 12. 42 samples from the critical care unit were separated, 28 from the infectious department, 23 from the emergency department, and 7 from other departments. Furthermore, 44 blood samples, 23 trachea samples, 11 wound samples, 10 urine samples, and 12 unknown samples were isolated. Class 1 Integrons were found in 87 of 100 isolates, Class 2 Integrons in 74 of 100 isolates, and Class 3 Integrons in none of the isolates.
