Popis: RESULTS. The epidemiological studies showed that all six strains studied belonged to the same clone. Furthermore, all of them carried the same gene encoding for trimethoprim resistance (dfrA7), which was located in an integron within a chromosome. CONCLUSION. Continuous epidemiological surveillance is required to control the spread of pathogenic microorganisms and the dissemination of resistance-encoding genes among geographical areas.
