IS
mSphere, 2020 IS26 has been shown to form cointegrates both by a copy-in mechanism involving one insertion sequence (IS) and a target and by a targeted conservative mechanism involving two ISs.

Prevalence and distribution of resistance and enterotoxins/enterotoxin-like genes in different clinical isolates of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus [PDF]
European Journal of Medical Research, 2020 Background Coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS) is considered to be the major reservoirs for genes facilitating the evolution of S. aureus as a successful pathogen. The present study aimed to determine the occurrence of genes conferring resistance to

The frequency of adherence, biofilm-associated, Arginine Catabolic Mobile element genes, and biofilm formation in clinical and healthcare worker coagulase-negative staphylococci isolates [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2023 Background Healthcare workers may pave the way for increased infections in hospitalized patients by coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS). Biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance are the major problems posed by CoNS in nosocomial infections.

Comment on “the IS6 family, a clinically important group of insertion sequences including IS26” by Varani and co-authors [PDF]
Mobile DNA, 2022 The insertion sequence IS26 has long been known to play a major role in the recruitment of antibiotic resistance genes into the mobile resistance gene pool of Gram-negative bacteria and IS26 also plays a major role in their subsequent broad dissemination.

Distribution and diversity of a cadmium resistance (cadA) determinant and occurrence of IS257 insertion sequences in Staphylococcal bacteria isolated from a contaminated estuary (Seine, France) [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2003 Water and sediments of the Seine estuary are contaminated by chemicals, especially cadmium, which favors survival and growth of cadmium-resistant bacteria. We investigated the diversity of the cadA gene, which encodes a Cd(2+)/ATPase protein transporter, in the microbial community of the Seine estuary. The cadA gene first isolated from S. aureus (pI258)

The IS6 family, a clinically important group of insertion sequences including IS26 [PDF]
Mobile DNA, 2021 The IS6 family of bacterial and archaeal insertion sequences, first identified in the early 1980s, has proved to be instrumental in the rearrangement and spread of multiple antibiotic resistance.

Possible role of insertion sequence IS257 in dissemination and expression of high- and low-level trimethoprim resistance in staphylococci [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1994 The transposon-like structure Tn4003 and related elements were found to encode high- and low-level trimethoprim resistance (Tpr) in Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci. By using transcriptional fusions in Escherichia coli, the variation in resistance levels was found to correlate with the transcriptional activity of the region ...

Multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus pettenkoferi isolated from cat in India [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2018 Background and Aim: Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are considered to be one of the emerging pathogens in human and animals in recent times. Staphylococcus pettenkoferi, a novel pathogen under CoNS, is discovered in 2002 in humans with multiple ...
