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.

Abundance of integrons in halophilic bacteria
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 2022Integrons are genetic platforms used for expressing open reading frames (ORFs) arranged in gene cassettes. Excision and integration of gene cassettes are controlled by their associated integron integrase (IntI). Using IntegronFinder software, we analyzed all complete halophilic genomes available in the HaloDom database, along with selected partial ...

Integron diversity in marine environments
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2015Integrons are bacterial genetic elements known to be active vectors of antibiotic resistance among clinical bacteria. They are also found in bacterial communities from natural environments. Although integrons have become especially efficient for bacterial adaptation in the particular context of antibiotic usage, their role in natural environments in ...

Mobile integrons encode phage defense systems
ScienceAbstractIntegrons are bacterial genetic elements that capture, stockpile and modulate the expression of genes encoded in integron cassettes. Mobile Integrons (MI) are borne on plasmids, acting as a vehicle for hundreds of antimicrobial resistance genes among key pathogens.

Transcription of integron‐harboured gene cassette impacts integration efficiency in class 1 integron
Molecular Microbiology, 2011SummaryClass 1 integrons play important roles in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria. Generally, class 1 integron consists of an integrase gene (intI1), a recombination site (attI1) and a promoter (Pc) that drives the transcription of the downstreamed gene cassettes.

Numerous studies have appeared that describe the importance of resistance integrons (RIs) and superintegrons (SIs) in antibiotic resistance, microbial physiology, and environmental adaptation in phylogenetically diverse gram-negative bacteria. This chapter describes the genetic organization of an integron; summarizes the different classes of RIs and ...

Genetic Variability of Enterobacterial Resistant Integrons
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2011Sulfamide-resistant (SulR) natural strains of enterobacteria (11.9% of a total of 797 cultures, isolated with enteric microflora of honeybee gut, bee-fermented pollen, and plant issues) were tested for class 1 antibiotic resistance integrons (MRI). Only 5.3% of SulR strains were MRI-positive.

Integron and antibiotic resistance
Pathology, 2009Since the advent of antibiotic chemotherapy, the spread of drug resistance genes among clinical isolates of bacteria has become an ever-increasing problem. The increase in drug resistance has been facilitated by the association of antibiotic resistance genes with a variety of mobile genetic elements including plasmids, transposons, integrons and gene ...
