Özet

Objective: Integrons, which are highly effective in capturing, integrating and expressing gene cassettes, play an important role in the dissemination of multiple antibiotic resistances. This study investigated the correlations of integrons in uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) with antibiotic resistance, virulence and phylogeny and also the relationships of phylogroups with virulence and antibiotic resistance.
