In recent years, different acquired resistance mechanisms, including transposons,
bacteriophages, plasmids, and integrons have been identified as involved in the spread of …

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 …

Background and purpose: Due to the emergence of antibiotic resistance bacteria, treatment
of urinary tract infection is becoming more problematic. Integrons are mobile genetic …

Antibiotic resistance development and pathogen cross-dissemination are both considered
essential risks to human health on a worldwide scale. Antimicrobial resistance genes …

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 …

Integrons are genetic elements that, although unable to move themselves, contain gene
cassettes that can be mobilized to other integrons or to secondary sites in the bacterial …

Integrons are genetic units characterized by the ability to capture and incorporate gene
cassettes, thus can contribute to the emergence and transfer of antibiotic resistance. The …

Integrons are versatile gene acquisition systems that allow efficient capturing of exogenous
genes and ensure their expression. Various classes of integrons possessing a wide variety …

The integron is a new type of mobile element which has evolved by a site-specific
recombinational mechanism. Integrons consist of two conserved segments of DNA …

The spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a growing problem and a public health issue. In
recent decades, various genetic mechanisms involved in the spread of resistance genes …
