Horizontal gene transfer in plant microbiomes: integrons as hotspots for cross-species gene exchange

Frontiers in Microbiology
Plant 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.

Distribution of class 1 integrons among enteropathogenic Escherichia coli

, 2012
The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of and resistance gene content of class 1 integrons among enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and non-EPEC and to investigate intraspecies genetic diversity of EPEC strains isolated from ...

Gene cassettes and cassettearrays inmobile resistance integrons

, 2009
antibiotic resistance; nomenclature; bioinformatics; computer-aided discovery. Gene cassettes are small mobile elements, consisting of little more than a single gene and recombination site, which are captured by larger elements called integrons.

Up-Regulation of Integron Genes from a Class I Integron

, 2010
Plasmids containing the pB10 integron were used to examine if there are regulatory mechanisms that can up-regulate the expression of integron genes independent of transposition to the front of the array. Selection assays of cultures harbouring the integron containing plasmids on ampicillin concentrations greater than the minimal inhibitory ...
