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.

Class 1 integron in staphylococci [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology Reports, 2011
As a major concern in public health, methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) still remains one of the most prevalent pathogens that cause nosocomial infections throughout the world and has been recently labeled as a "super bug" in antibiotic resistance.

Integrons: agents of bacterial evolution

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2006
Integrons are assembly platforms - DNA elements that acquire open reading frames embedded in exogenous gene cassettes and convert them to functional genes by ensuring their correct expression. They were first identified by virtue of their important role in the spread of antibiotic-resistance genes.

Super-integrons

Research in Microbiology, 1999
Integrons represent the primary mechanism for antibiotic resistance gene capture and dissemination among gram-negative bacteria. The recent finding of super-integron (SI) structures in the genomes of several bacterial species has expanded their role in genome evolution.

Abundance of integrons in halophilic bacteria

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 2022
Integrons are genetic platforms used for expressing open reading frames (ORFs) arranged in gene cassettes. Excision and integration of gene cassettes are controlled by their associated integron integrase (IntI). Using IntegronFinder software, we analyzed all complete halophilic genomes available in the HaloDom database, along with selected partial ...
