Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Profiles in Integron-Positive and Integron-Negative Third-Generation Cephalosporin-Resistant E. coli from Human and Animal Sources [PDF]

Antibiotics
Background/Objectives: Integrons are genetic platforms that allow bacteria to acquire antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, making them a focal point for many AMR studies and surveillance programs. This study investigated how the prevalence of integrons (

Integrons in the development of antimicrobial resistance: critical review and perspectives

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Antibiotic resistance development and pathogen cross-dissemination are both considered essential risks to human health on a worldwide scale. Antimicrobial resistance genes (AMRs) are acquired, expressed, disseminated, and traded mainly through integrons,

Integrons in the Intestinal Microbiota as Reservoirs for Transmission of Antibiotic Resistance Genes

Pathogens, 2014
The human intestinal microbiota plays a major beneficial role in immune development and resistance to pathogens. The use of antibiotics, however, can cause the spread of antibiotic resistance genes within the resident intestinal microbiota.

Integrons in the Age of Antibiotic Resistance: Evolution, Mechanisms, and Environmental Implications: A Review

Microorganisms
Integrons, which are genetic components commonly found in bacteria, possess the remarkable capacity to capture gene cassettes, incorporate them into their structure, and thereby contribute to an increase in genomic complexity and phenotypic diversity ...

Integron and its role in antimicrobial resistance: A literature review on some bacterial pathogens [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2021
In recent years, different acquired resistance mechanisms, including transposons, bacteriophages, plasmids, and integrons have been identified as involved in the spread of resistance genes in bacteria.

The Natural History of Integrons

Microorganisms, 2021
Integrons were first identified because of their central role in assembling and disseminating antibiotic resistance genes in commensal and pathogenic bacteria.

HIGH PREVALENCE OF CLASS I AND CLASS II INTEGRONS IN UROPATHOGENIC E. COLI STRAINS (UPECs) AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE, PHYLOGENY AND VIRULENCE

İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2022
Objective: Integrons, which are highly effective in capturing, integrating and expressing gene cassettes, play an important role in the dissemination of multiple antibiotic resistances.
