ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prevalence of mobile genetic elements in Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from burn patients. Methods Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the genes encoding the integron, transposon, conjugative plasmid and insertion sequence in 20 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from burn patients. Results tnpU and ISaba1 genes were detected in all 20 strains, and int Ⅰ gene was detected in 19 strains (95.0%). Other genes were all negative. Conclusion Mobile genetic elements carrying multi-drug resistant genes are found in Acinctobacter baumannii strains isolated from bum patients.
