Draft Genome Sequence of the Biofilm-Forming Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Strain 53 [PDF]
, 2015 A clinical strain of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (designated strain 53) was obtained, and a whole-genome sequence was generated. The subsequent draft whole-genome sequence demonstrated the presence of a number of genes encoding for proteins involved in ...

Identification of class 1 and 2 integrons from clinical and environmental Salmonella isolates
Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2014 Introduction: The indiscriminate use of antimicrobials has selected for the emergence of resistant strains. Many mechanisms contribute to the spread of antimicrobial-resistant genes, and integrons play a key role in this process.

Horizontal gene transfer in plant microbiomes: integrons as hotspots for cross-species gene exchange
Frontiers in MicrobiologyPlant microbiomes play important roles in plant health and fitness. Bacterial horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can influence plant health outcomes, driving the spread of both plant growth-promoting and phytopathogenic traits.
