Impacts of anthropogenic activity on the ecology of class 1 integrons and integron-associated genes in the environment [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2011 Abstract The impact of human activity on the selection for antibiotic resistance in the environment is largely unknown, although considerable amounts of antibiotics are introduced through domestic wastewater and farm animal waste. Selection for resistance may occur by exposure to antibiotic residues or by co-selection for mobile genetic ...

High prevalence of class 1 integron, biofilm formation, and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Escherichia coli isolated from cattle, water, and soil in Bangladesh [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyBackground Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat. Escherichia coli is an important reservoir of resistance genes, and the coexistence of mcr with class 1 integron (intI1) is alarming, mcr confers resistance to colistin, a last-resort ...
