Description
Abolfazl Rafati Zomorodi and co-authors report a 2024 study of gene cassettes called integrons in drug-resistant staph germs in Iran. Such cassettes help germs swap resistance traits and spread. Samples came from four large cities and were tested for drug response and for three integron classes.
Of 183 samples, most resisted many drugs and three in five were the hardy MRSA form. Resistance ran highest to a common antibiotic, while two last-line drugs still worked on all samples. Gene tests then sorted which cassette classes each sample carried, to map how resistance travels.
