Analysis for prevalence and physical linkages amongst integrons, ISEcp1, ISCR1, Tn21 and Tn7 encountered in Escherichia coli strains from hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients in Kenya during a 19-year period (1992-2011) [PDF]
, 2013 Background: We determined the prevalence and evidence for physical linkage amongst integrons, insertion sequences, Tn21 and Tn7 transposons in a collection of 1327 E. coli obtained over a 19-year period from patients in Kenya.

Broad-spectrum β-lactamases among Enterobacteriaceae of animal origin: molecular aspects, mobility and impact on public health [PDF]
, 2010 Broad-spectrum β-lactamase genes (coding for extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC β-lactamases) have been frequently demonstrated in the microbiota of food-producing animals. This may pose a human health hazard since these genes may be present

The association of group IIB intron with integrons in hypersaline environments
Mobile DNA, 2021 Background Group II introns are mobile genetic elements used as efficient gene targeting tools. They function as both ribozymes and retroelements. Group IIC introns are the only class reported so far to be associated with integrons.

Divergent Evolution and Local Establishment of Multidrug-Resistant <i>Shigella sonnei</i> in China. [PDF]
MedComm (2020)• Evolutionary history and local establishment of Chinese Shigella sonnei are unclear. • Chinese S. sonnei developed into four clades and ONPG‐negative variants. • The antimicrobial resistance phenotype of Clade I was due to an IncB/O/K/Z plasmid. • Antimicrobial resistance of Clade II was due to IncFII and IncB/O/K/Z plasmids.

Resistance integrons; A Mini review.
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).

Antibiotic resistance in the environment, with particular reference to MRSA [PDF]
, 2008 The introduction of β-lactam antibiotics (penicillins and cephalosporins) in the 1940s and 1950s probably represents the most dramatic event in the battle against infection in human medicine.
