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]
, 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.

Detection of VIM-1-producing Enterobacter cloacae and Salmonella enterica Serovars Infantis and Goldcoast at a breeding pig farm in Germany in 2017 and their molecular relationship to former VIM-1-producing S. Infantis Isolates in German livestock production [PDF]
, 2019 In 2011, VIM-1-producing Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis and Escherichia coli were isolated for the first time in four German livestock farms. In 2015/2016, highly related isolates were identified in German pig production.

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).

The evolutionary history of chromosomal super-integrons provides an ancestry for multiresistant integrons [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001 Integrons are genetic elements that acquire and exchange exogenous DNA, known as gene cassettes, by a site-specific recombination mechanism. Characterized gene cassettes consist of a target recombination sequence ( attC site) usually associated with a single open reading frame coding for an antibiotic resistance

Integron Diversity in Heavy-Metal-Contaminated Mine Tailings and Inferences about Integron Evolution [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2004 ABSTRACTIntegrons are horizontal gene transfer (HGT) systems containing elements necessary for site-specific recombination and expression of foreign DNA. The overall phylogenetic distribution of integrons and range of genes that can be transferred by integrons are unknown.
