Novel Gene Cassettes and Integrons [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2001
ABSTRACT An increase in multiresistant Enterobacteriaceae was observed at one of the departments of the University Medical Center Utrecht. Nine different integrons and 17 gene cassettes were found, including the new gene cassette aadA8 . This cassette was highly related to

Molecular diversity and conjugal transferability of class 2 integrons among Escherichia coli isolates from food, animal and human sources [PDF]

, 2018
Integrons are genetic platforms able to excise, integrate and express antibiotic resistance gene cassettes (GCs). Here we investigated the complete genetic organisation, genetic environment, location and conjugative transferability of a collection of ...

MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE AND INTEGRONS IN ESCHERICHIA COLI ISOLATED FROM FOOD-PRODUCING ANIMALS IN SAUDI ARABIA [PDF]

Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal, 2015
Transference of antimicrobial resistance gene determinants by integrons is one of the important factors that can contribute to the increase in multidrug-resistant bacteria. The present study aimed to investigate 56 strains of animal-derived E.

Class 1 integron in staphylococci [PDF]

Molecular Biology Reports, 2011
As a major concern in public health, methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) still remains one of the most prevalent pathogens that cause nosocomial infections throughout the world and has been recently labeled as a "super bug" in antibiotic resistance.

Chromosomal Integrons are Genetically and Functionally Isolated Units of Genomes

, 2023
Integrons are genetic elements that increase the evolvability of bacteria by capturing new genes and stockpiling them in arrays. Sedentary chromosomal integrons (SCIs), can be massive and highly stabilized structures encoding hundreds of genes, whose ...

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.
