DNA as a Pollutant: the Clinical Class 1 Integron

Current Pollution Reports, 2018
When humans first tried to control bacterial growth with antimicrobials, DNA elements called integrons began to accumulate genes for resistance. The clinical class 1 integron accumulated diverse antibiotic resistance genes, spread into multiple bacterial species, colonized a wide range of animal and plant hosts, and spread to every continent.

Class 1 integron and related antimicrobial resistance gene dynamics along a complex freshwater system affected by different anthropogenic pressures.

Environmental Pollution, 2022
The risk for human health posed by polluted aquatic environments, and especially those carrying antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) of clinical interest, is still debated.

First report of class 2 integron in clinical Enterococcus faecalis and class 1 integron in Enterococcus faecium in South China

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2010
During 2003 to 2004, class 1 integron was detected in 8 out of 10 tested enterococci isolates, with 2 of them positive for class 2 integron. This is the first report of class 2 integron in Enterococcus faecalis and class 1 integron in Enterococcus faecium.

Evolutions of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), class 1 integron-integrase (intI1) and potential hosts of ARGs during sludge anaerobic digestion with the iron nanoparticles addition.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
In this work, we investigated the impact of iron nanoparticle, including magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) and nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI), on the anaerobic digestion (AD) performance. Moreover, the evolutions of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)

Resistance class 1 integron in clinical methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains in southern China, 2001–2006

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2011
As a novel antibiotic resistance determinant, investigation of the occurrence and characteristics of class 1 integron was performed on nosocomial methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains sampled during 2001–2006. Seventy‐six out of 179 (

Class 1 integron causes vulnerability to formaldehyde in Escherichia coli

Archives of Microbiology, 2021
In this study, the relationships of integron 1 element, formaldehyde dehydrogenase, and orfF genes with the level of formaldehyde resistance of isolated E. coli were investigated. E. coli bacteria were isolated from apparently healthy and colibacillosis-affected broilers of Fars Province, Iran.

Class 1 Integrons, Gene Cassettes, Mobility, and Epidemiology

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1999
Integrons are genetic elements that, although unable to move themselves, contain gene cassettes that can be mobilized to other integrons or to secondary sites in the bacterial genome. The majority of approximately 60 known gene cassettes encode resistance to antibiotics. Recently, a number of gene cassettes encoding extended-spectrum beta-lactamases or
