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

Integrones: los coleccionistas de genes Integrons: gene collectors

open access: greenRevista Argentina de Microbiología, 2010
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

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.

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 ...

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]

open access: yes, 2013
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.

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 ...

Imipenem resistance in clinical Escherichia coli from Qom, Iran [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
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.

open access: yesCaspian journal of internal medicine, 2019
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).
