Novel Gene Cassettes and Integrons [PDF]
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

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

Integrones: los coleccionistas de genes Integrons: gene collectors
Los integrones son estructuras genéticas que han despertado gran interés, debido a que algunos de ellos vehiculizan genes de resistencia a los antimicrobianos. Están formados por un fragmento que codifica una integrasa (intI) y, a continuación, una secuencia attI a la que se unen los genes en casetes que codifican diferentes mecanismos de resistencia ...

Characterization of the novel In1059 harbouring VIM gene cassette
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

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

Analysis for prevalence and physical linkages amongst integrons, ISEcp1, ISCR1, Tn21 and Tn7 encountered in Escherichia coli strains from hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients in Kenya during a 19-year period (1992-2011) [PDF]
Background: We determined the prevalence and evidence for physical linkage amongst integrons, insertion sequences, Tn21 and Tn7 transposons in a collection of 1327 E. coli obtained over a 19-year period from patients in Kenya.

Imipenem resistance in clinical Escherichia coli from Qom, Iran [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The emergence of metallo-\u3b2-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae is a worldwide health concern. In this study, the first evaluation of MBL genes, bla IMP and bla VIM , in Escherichia coli resistant to imipenem isolated from urine and ...

Resistance integrons; A Mini review.
Integrons are a segment of dsDNA that play a major role in bacterial adaptation and evolution. These genetic determinants are known by the presence of three necessary apparatuses: an integrase (intI gene), Pc (a promoter) and attI (a recombination site).
