Resistance integrons and super-integrons [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology and Infection, 2004
Integrons are genetic elements composed of a gene encoding an integrase, gene cassettes and an integration site for the gene cassettes (att). The integrase excises and integrates the gene cassettes from and into the integron, but integrons themselves are not mobile. Two groups of integrons are known: resistance integrons and super-integrons. Nearly all

Environmental integrons: the dark side of the integron world

Trends in Microbiology, 2023
Integrons are bacterial genetic elements notorious for their role in spreading antibiotic resistance in clinical settings. In the natural environment, integrons present a wide and hidden diversity, raising questions as to their broader role in bacterial adaptation.

Integrons: agents of bacterial evolution

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2006
Integrons are assembly platforms - DNA elements that acquire open reading frames embedded in exogenous gene cassettes and convert them to functional genes by ensuring their correct expression. They were first identified by virtue of their important role in the spread of antibiotic-resistance genes.

Super-integrons

Research in Microbiology, 1999
Integrons represent the primary mechanism for antibiotic resistance gene capture and dissemination among gram-negative bacteria. The recent finding of super-integron (SI) structures in the genomes of several bacterial species has expanded their role in genome evolution.
