Characterization of the novel In1059 harbouring VIM gene cassette

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2017
Background VIM-type enzyme encodes the most widely acquired metallo-β-lactamases in Gram- negative bacteria. To obtain current epidemiological data for integrons from enterobacteriae in hospital, the study characterizes the genetic structure in In1059 by

The evolutionary history of chromosomal super-integrons provides an ancestry for multiresistant integrons [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001
Integrons are genetic elements that acquire and exchange exogenous DNA, known as gene cassettes, by a site-specific recombination mechanism. Characterized gene cassettes consist of a target recombination sequence ( attC site) usually associated with a single open reading frame coding for an antibiotic resistance

Integron Diversity in Heavy-Metal-Contaminated Mine Tailings and Inferences about Integron Evolution [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2004
ABSTRACTIntegrons are horizontal gene transfer (HGT) systems containing elements necessary for site-specific recombination and expression of foreign DNA. The overall phylogenetic distribution of integrons and range of genes that can be transferred by integrons are unknown.

The evaluation of class 1 to 3 integrons in Salmonella and antimicrobial resistance pattern isolated from Ross 308 broiler chickens [PDF]

Network Biology, 2019
High prevalent of multiple drug resistant (MDR) Salmonella is considered as a threat for human's health. Integrons are one of the most important factors that can contribute to the occurrence of MDR bacteria.

Prevalence and characterisation of class 1 and 2 integrons in multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from pig farms in Chongqing, China

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2020
Integrons are mobile DNA elements that allow for acquisition and dissemination of antibiotic-resistance genes among pig farm-derived bacteria. Limited information is available on integrons of Staphylococcus aureus from pig farms.

Integrons [PDF]

Mobile Genetic Elements, 2012
Integrons are genetic elements first described at the end of the 1980s. Although most integrons were initially described in human clinical isolates, they have now been identified in many non-clinical environments, such as water and soil. Integrons are present in ≈10% of the sequenced bacterial genomes and are frequently linked to mobile genetic ...

Effect of Pyrolysis on the Removal of Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Class I Integrons from Municipal Wastewater Biosolids [PDF]

, 2018
Wastewater biosolids represent a significant reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). While current biosolids treatment technologies can reduce ARG levels in residual wastewater biosolids, observed removal rates vary substantially.

Role of Class I, II and III Integrons in Multidrug Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Nosocomial Hospital [PDF]

, 2016
Aims: The increasing usage of antibiotics can cause resistance to the treatment of infections, which can caused by bacteria, e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The aim of this study was to trace the class I, II and III integrons in isolates of P. aeruginosa of

Integrating One Health to Mitigate the Emergence and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock and Aquaculture

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat driven by antimicrobial use in aquaculture and livestock. Resistant pathogens and genes can spread across humans, animals, and the environment through interconnected ecosystems. Using a One Health approach, this review emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, regulatory strengthening, enhanced ...

Investigation of class 1 integrons in Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical and microbiota isolates belonging to different phylogenetic groups in Recife, State of Pernambuco

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2014
Introduction The high prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections is related to the ability of K. pneumoniae to acquire and disseminate exogenous genes associated with mobile elements, such as R plasmids, transposons and integrons.
