Activation of class 1 integron integrase is promoted in the intestinal environment. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2022 Class 1 integrons are widespread genetic elements playing a major role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance. They allow bacteria to capture, express and exchange antibiotic resistance genes embedded within gene cassettes.

Characterization of the variable region in the class 1 integron of antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from surface water. [PDF]
Braz J Microbiol, 2016 Fecal bacteria are considered to be a potential reservoir of antimicrobial resistance genes in the aquatic environment and could horizontally transfer these genes to autochthonous bacteria when carried on transferable and/or mobile genetic elements. Such
