Integron-encoded GES-type extended-spectrum ß-lactamase with increased activity toward aztreonam in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
, 2005 A Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain expresses an extended-spectrum β-lactamase, GES-9, which differs from GES-1 by a Gly243Ser substitution, is inhibited by clavulanic acid and imipenem, and hydrolyzes aztreonam.

Novel Gene Cassettes and Integrons [PDF]
Antimicrobial 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

Class 1 integron in staphylococci [PDF]
Molecular 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.

Gene cassette transcription in a large integron-associated array [PDF]
, 2010 Background The integron/gene cassette system is a diverse and effective adaptive resource for prokaryotes. Short cassette arrays, with less than 10 cassettes adjacent to an integron, provide this resource through the expression of cassette-associated ...

A new route for integron cassette dissemination among bacterial genomes [PDF]
, 2022 Integrons are genetic elements found exclusively in bacteria. They are well known for their role in disseminating antibiotic resistance genes among pathogens and more generally for enabling bacteria to rapidly adapt to changing environmental conditions ...

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

Integrons as tools for epidemiological studies [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2004 The integron content of Gram-negative strains implicated in three distinct episodes of suspected cross-infection among inpatients was investigated and compared with ribotyping. In the first episode, ribotyping identified a strain of Acinetobacter, isolated over a 3-month period, responsible for an outbreak associated with the use of mechanical ...

Resistance integrons; A Mini review.
Caspian 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).

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2017 Introduction: Class 1 integrons are mobile genetic elements considered to be responsible for the transfer of multidrug resistance. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of type 1 integrons in multidrug-resistantEscherichiacolifrom hospital ...
