Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a significant bacterium responsible for various infections. The increasing spread of antibiotic resistance in these bacteria is concerning. Key factors contributing to the rise in antibiotic resistance include the presence of integrons and the ability to form biofilms. The current study investigated the abundance of class 1 and 2 integrons and biofilm formation among clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Tehran, Iran.
Methods: In this study, 100 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated. The samples were examined in terms of microbial and biochemical culture, molecular confirmation was done by PCR for OprL genes and the presence of class 1 and 2 integrons was checked. The significance of variables was checked with the p-value.
Findings: The prevalence of integron class 1 and 2 was 47% and 8%, respectively. Integron 1 and 2 were significantly higher in severe and moderate biofilm than in weak cases (P < 0.05). Out of 33 samples with strong biofilm, 90.9% of samples had the integron one gene. The results showed that the integron one gene was significantly higher in Multiple drug resistance (MDR) samples than in non-MDR samples (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The relationship between biofilm formation and the presence of integrons shows the role of these factors in creating antibiotic resistance, and the presence of integrons 1 and 2 in clinical strains can increase the risk of drug resistance gene transmission.
