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.

Resistance to carbapenems in non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica serovars from humans, animals and food [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Non-typhoidal serovars of Salmonella enterica (NTS) are a leading cause of food-borne disease in animals and humans worldwide. Like other zoonotic bacteria, NTS have the potential to act as reservoirs and vehicles for the transmission of antimicrobial ...

Novel Gene Cassettes and Integrons [PDF]

open access: yesAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2001
ABSTRACT An increase in multiresistant Enterobacteriaceae was observed at one of the departments of the University Medical Center Utrecht. Nine different integrons and 17 gene cassettes were found, including the new gene cassette aadA8 . This cassette was highly related to

Identification of integrons and gene cassette-associated recombination sites in bacteriophage genomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Bacteriophages are versatile mobile genetic elements that play key roles in driving the evolution of their bacterial hosts through horizontal gene transfer. Phages co-evolve with their bacterial hosts and have plastic genomes with extensive mosaicism. In

Characterization of the novel In1059 harbouring VIM gene cassette

open access: yesAntimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2017
Background VIM-type enzyme encodes the most widely acquired metallo-β-lactamases in Gram- negative bacteria. To obtain current epidemiological data for integrons from enterobacteriae in hospital, the study characterizes the genetic structure in In1059 by

A comprehensive survey of integron-associated genes present in metagenomes

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2020
Background Integrons are genomic elements that mediate horizontal gene transfer by inserting and removing genetic material using site-specific recombination.

Complete sequence of the IncA/C 1 plasmid pCf587 carrying bla PER-2 from citrobacter freundii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The bla PER-2 -harboring plasmid pCf587 (191,541 bp) belongs to lineage IncA/C 1 and is closely related to pRA1. It contains a large resistance island including the bla PER-2 gene between two copies of ISKox2-like elements, the toxin-antitoxin module ...

Prevalence of sulfonamide resistance genes in bacterial isolates from manured agricultural soils and pig slurry in the United Kingdom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Prevalence of three sulfonamide resistance genes, sul1, sul2 and sul3 and sulfachloropyridazine (SCP) resistance was determined in bacteria isolated from UK manured agricultural clay soils and slurry samples, over a two year period.

The function of integron-associated genes cassettes in Vibrio species: the tip of the iceberg

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
The integron is a genetic element that incorporates mobile genes termed gene cassettes into a reserved genetic site via site-specific recombination. It is best known for its role in antibiotic resistance with one type of integron, the class 1 integron, a

Identification of Class 1 Integron of Escherichia coli from Street Foods in Jakarta

open access: yesMicrobiology Indonesia, 2010
A total of 43 Escherichia coli isolates were identified from school street foods located in Northern and Southern Jakarta. The isolates were examined for antibiotic resistance using five antibiotics discs (ampicillin, kanamycin, streptomycin ...
