Prevalence of bla OXA-48 and other carbapenemase encoding genes among carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates in Egypt
Abstract Background Resistance to carbapenem, the last line of treatment for gram-negative bacterial infections has been increasing globally and becoming a public health threat.Since integrons may aid in the transmission of resistance genes, the purpose of this study was to detect the frequency of class 1, 2, and 3 integrons as well as carbapenem-r
