Antibiotics, 2021 Antimicrobial resistance genes are often associated with integrons, which promote their movement between and within DNA molecules. IntFinder 1.0 and I-VIP v1.2 were used for the detection of integrons and their associated resistance genes in assembled ...

Gene Expression in Class 2 Integrons Is SOS-Independent and Involves Two Pc Promoters [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Integrons are powerful bacterial genetic elements that permit the expression and dissemination of antibiotic-resistance gene cassettes. They contain a promoter Pc that allows the expression of gene cassettes captured through site-specific recombination ...

Resistance integrons. Mini review [PDF]
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).

Into the wild: dissemination of antibiotic resistance determinants via a species recovery program. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Management strategies associated with captive breeding of endangered species can establish opportunities for transfer of pathogens and genetic elements between human and animal microbiomes. The class 1 integron is a mobile genetic element associated with

Structural diversity of class 1 integrons and their associated gene cassettes in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from a hospital in China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Klebsiella pneumoniae strains carrying class 1 integrons are becoming more common worldwide, and their role in the dissemination of drug resistance is significant.

Preferential carriage of class 2 integrons in Acinetobacter baumannii CC113 and novel singletons. [PDF]
, 2015 Our understanding of the distribution of integrons associated with multidrug resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates around the world remains incomplete. The association between the class 1 and 2 integron A. baumannii-positive isolates (n = 60),
