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

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.

Class 1 integron and related antimicrobial resistance gene dynamics along a complex freshwater system affected by different anthropogenic pressures.

Environmental Pollution, 2022
The risk for human health posed by polluted aquatic environments, and especially those carrying antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) of clinical interest, is still debated.

Nanopore sequencing analysis of integron gene cassettes in sewages and soils.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
Integrons are genetic elements that can facilitate rapid spread of antibiotic resistance by insertion and removal of genes. However, knowledge about the diversity and distribution of gene cassettes embedded in class 1 integron is still limited.

Integrons

Annual Review of Genetics, 2010
Integrons are genetic elements able to acquire and rearrange open reading frames (ORFs) embedded in gene cassette units and convert them to functional genes by ensuring their correct expression. They were originally identified as a mechanism used by Gram-negative bacteria to collect antibiotic resistance genes and express multiple resistance ...

Environmental integrons: the dark side of the integron world

Trends in Microbiology, 2023
Integrons are bacterial genetic elements notorious for their role in spreading antibiotic resistance in clinical settings. In the natural environment, integrons present a wide and hidden diversity, raising questions as to their broader role in bacterial adaptation.

The Integron: Adaptation On Demand

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2015
ABSTRACT The integron is a powerful system which, by capturing, stockpiling, and rearranging new functions carried by gene encoding cassettes, confers upon bacteria a rapid adaptation capability in changing environments. Chromosomally located integrons (CI) have been identified in a large number of environmental Gram-negative ...
