ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the existance of class Ⅰ gene integron and transposon(merA and tnpA) gene marker in Escherichia coli isolated from the elderly patients.METHODS Antibiotic sensitivity was performed by microdilution test.Integron gene IntⅠ1 and transposon marker genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).The PCR products were purified and sequenced.RESULTS E.coli resistant to amikacin accounted for 60%,to sulfamethoxazole 95%,and to third-generation cephalosporin 100%(all ESBLs-producing strains).The resistance was related closely to the class Ⅰ integron.The positive rate of integron intⅠ1 was 80%(16/20),whereas the positive rate of gene merA was only 10%(2/20).Gene tnpA was not tested out.CONCLUSIONS The drug resistance of E.coli has close relation with transmission of integron and transposon.The transposons of Tn21/Tn501 are all firstly reported in China.
