Genetic Analysis of Integrons among Methicillin-resistant and Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Nosocomial Infections [PDF]
Background: Integrons are mobile genetic elements that play an important role in dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes. The aim of present study is to determine the antibiotic resistance profile, frequency of integrons genes (class 1, 2, 3) and ...

Complete sequence of the IncA/C 1 plasmid pCf587 carrying bla PER-2 from citrobacter freundii [PDF]
The bla PER-2 -harboring plasmid pCf587 (191,541 bp) belongs to lineage IncA/C 1 and is closely related to pRA1. It contains a large resistance island including the bla PER-2 gene between two copies of ISKox2-like elements, the toxin-antitoxin module ...

Analysis of class 2 integrons as a marker for multidrug resistance among gram negative bacilli [PDF]
Class 1 and 2 integrons are considered the paradigm of multidrug resistant (MDR) integrons. Although class 1 integrons have been found statistically associated to Enterobacteriaceae MDR isolates, this type of study has not been conducted for class 2 ...

Global dissemination patterns of common gene cassette arrays in class 1 integrons
Integrons are genetic elements that contain a site-specific recombination system able to capture, express and exchange gene cassettes. Mobile integrons are widespread and often confer resistance to multiple antibiotics, due to the expression of the arrays of gene cassettes they carry.
