BEL-1, a novel clavulanic acid-inhibited extended-spectrum ß-lactamase, and the class 1 integron In120 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Screening by a double-disk synergy test identified a Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate that produced a clavulanic acid-inhibited expanded-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL).

Class 1 Integrons in Environments with Different Degrees of Urbanization
Les intégrons de classe 1 sont l'un des éléments les plus efficaces dans l'acquisition, l'expression et la propagation des gènes de résistance aux antimicrobiens (Arg) parmi les isolats cliniques. On sait peu de choses sur le flux génétique des composants des plates-formes génétiques des intégrons de classe 1 à l'intérieur et entre les communautés ...

An intrinsic control element for translational initiation in class 1 integrons [PDF]
SummaryIntegrons are genetic elements able to capture anti‐biotic resistance and other genes and to promote their transcription. Here, we have investigated integron‐dependent translation of an aminoglycoside 6′‐N‐acetyltransferase gene (aac(6′)‐Ib7) inserted at the attI1 site. N‐terminal sequencing revealed that translation of this gene was initiated

The function of integron-associated genes cassettes in Vibrio species: the tip of the iceberg
The integron is a genetic element that incorporates mobile genes termed gene cassettes into a reserved genetic site via site-specific recombination. It is best known for its role in antibiotic resistance with one type of integron, the class 1 integron, a

Dynamics of a Class 1 Integron Located on Plasmid or Chromosome in Two Aeromonas spp. Strains. [PDF]
Integrons are non-mobile bacterial genetic elements that carry different cassettes conferring antibiotic resistance. Cassettes can excise or integrate by action of an integron-encoded integrase, enabling bacteria to face environmental challenges. In this

Molecular differentiation of common promoters in Salmonella class 1 integrons [PDF]
The integron is a mobile gene element which harbors antibiotic-resistance gene cassettes capable of site-specific integration. Among the four known types of integrons, the class 1 integron has been associated with multidrug-resistance in pathogenic bacteria. These gene cassettes have been the focus of a series of studies.

Integron prevalence and diversity in manured soil [PDF]
Integron abundance and diversity were studied in soil amended with pig slurry. Real-time PCR illustrated a significant increase in class 1 integron prevalence post slurry-application with increased prevalence still evident at 10 months post-application ...
