Preferential carriage of class 2 integrons in Acinetobacter baumannii CC113 and novel singletons. [PDF]
Our understanding of the distribution of integrons associated with multidrug resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates around the world remains incomplete. The association between the class 1 and 2 integron A. baumannii-positive isolates (n = 60),

Impacts of anthropogenic activity on the ecology of class 1 integrons and integron-associated genes in the environment [PDF]
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 ...

Class 1 integrons are low-cost structures in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Abstract Resistance integrons are bacterial genetic platforms that can capture and express antibiotic resistance genes embedded within gene cassettes. The capture and shuffling of gene cassettes are mediated by the integrase IntI, the expression of which is regulated by the SOS response in Escherichia coli.

Antimicrobial resistance and class I integrons in Salmonella enterica isolates from wild boars and Bísaro pigs [PDF]
The antibiotic resistance phenotype and genotype and the integron type were characterized in 58 Salmonellaenterica isolates recovered from Bísaro pigs and wild boars (20 S. Typhimurium, 17 S. Rissen, 14 S. Enteritidis and 7S. Havana).

Activation of class 1 integron integrase is promoted in the intestinal environment
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. Acquisition of gene cassettes is catalysed by the class 1 integron integrase, a site-specific recombinase playing a key ...

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
