Biochar and Manure Applications Differentially Altered the Class 1 Integrons, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Gene Cassettes Diversity in Paddy Soils

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Integrons are genetic components that are critically involved in bacterial evolution and antimicrobial resistance by assisting in the propagation and expression of gene cassettes.

Horizontal transfer and evolution of wall teichoic acid gene cassettes in Bacillus subtilis [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

F1000Research, 2021
Background: Wall teichoic acid (WTA) genes are essential for production of cell walls in gram-positive bacteria and necessary for survival and variability in the cassette has led to recent antibiotic resistance acquisition in pathogenic bacteria ...

Uncovering the diversity and contents of gene cassettes in class 1 integrons from the endophytes of raw vegetables

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Rapid spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in pathogens is threatening human health. Integrons allow bacteria to integrate and express foreign genes, facilitating horizontal transfer of ARGs in environments.

High-Throughput Screening of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes and Their Association With Class 1 Integrons in Urban Rivers in Japan

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious public health concern. Many countries have implemented AMR surveillance programs for humans and animals, but a scheme for monitoring AMR in the environment has not yet been established. Class 1 integrons, which

Co-assortment in integron-associated gene cassette assemblages in environmental DNA samples

BMC Genetics, 2010
Background It has been shown that integron-associated gene cassettes exist largely in tandem arrays of variable size, ranging from antibiotic resistance arrays of three to five cassettes up to arrays of more than 100 cassettes associated with the vibrios.

Variable Gene Cassette Patterns of Class 1 Integron-Associated Drug-Resistant Escherichia Coli in Taiwan

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2007
This study characterized class 1 integrons in Escherichia coli in Taiwan. The stability and changes in gene cassettes inserted into integrons were also evaluated. The study included 436 clinical strains of E. coli isolated in 2002. Class 1 integrons were

Integron and its role in antimicrobial resistance: A literature review on some bacterial pathogens [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2021
In recent years, different acquired resistance mechanisms, including transposons, bacteriophages, plasmids, and integrons have been identified as involved in the spread of resistance genes in bacteria.

Deletion of integron-associated gene cassettes impact on the surface properties of Vibrio rotiferianus DAT722. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundThe integron is a genetic recombination system that catalyses the acquisition of genes on mobilisable elements called gene cassettes. In Vibrio species, multiple acquired gene cassettes form a cassette array that can comprise 1-3% of the ...
