Correctly Identifying the Streptothricin Resistance Gene Cassette [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2005 If analysis of the gene cassettes located in class 1 or class 2 integrons found in surveys of antibiotic resistance genes is to be useful in tracking the prevalence and movement of resistance genes, the cassettes must be accurately identified.

Recovery and evolutionary analysis of complete integron gene cassette arrays from
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006 Background Integrons are genetic elements capable of the acquisition, rearrangement and expression of genes contained in gene cassettes. Gene cassettes generally consist of a promoterless gene associated with a recombination site known as a 59-base ...

Detection of Novel Integrons in the Metagenome of Human Saliva.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Integrons are genetic elements capable of capturing and expressing open reading frames (ORFs) embedded within gene cassettes. They are involved in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in clinically important pathogens.

Screening Foodstuffs for Class 1 Integrons and Gene Cassettes. [PDF]
J Vis Exp, 2015 Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest threats to health in the 21st century. Acquisition of resistance genes via lateral gene transfer is a major factor in the spread of diverse resistance mechanisms. Amongst the DNA elements facilitating lateral transfer, the class 1 integrons have largely been responsible for spreading antibiotic resistance ...

The protein tyrosine kinases EpsB and PtkA differentially affect biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
, 2014 The Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis is able to choose between motile and sessile lifestyles. The sessile way of life, also referred to as biofilm, depends on the formation of an extracellular polysaccharide matrix and some extracellular ...

Dynamics of class 1 integrons in aerobic biofilm reactors spiked with antibiotics
Environment International, 2020 Class 1 integrons are strongly associated with the dissemination of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. However, little is known about whether the presence of antibiotics affects the abundance of integrons and antibiotic resistance genes during biological
