<sec><title>Objectives</title><p>Integrons are thought to play an important role in the spread of antibiotic resistance. This study investigates class 1 and 2 integron-positive methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci strains isolated in Iran and characterizes their patterns of antimicrobial resistance.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Hundred clinical isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci were characterized for integron content and staphylococcal cassette chromosome <italic>mec</italic> (SCCmec) type.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Sixteen isolates carried class 1 (<italic>intI1</italic>) integrons and four isolates carried class 2 (<italic>intI2</italic>) integrons. One resistance gene array was identified among the class 1 integrons (<italic>aadA1</italic> cassette). The distribution of SCCmec types in 50 methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci strains showed that SCCmec types III and V dominated among the tested strains.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>This is the first report of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci strains that carry two mobile genetic elements, including class 1 and 2 integrons and SCCmec, in Iran.</p></sec>
