Antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) are regarded as emerging environmental pollutants and
pose a serious health risk to the human population. Integrons are genetic elements that are …

Integrons are bacterial genetic elements known to be active vectors of antibiotic resistance
among clinical bacteria. They are also found in bacterial communities from natural …

Integrons are mobile genetic elements able to capture, express and excise resistance
genes, playing an important role in the spread of bacterial resistance. The present study was …

The class 1 integron and complex gene cassettes among different species of clinical isolates
in northern China were characterized in this study. 383 clinical isolates were obtained from …

Class 1 integrons and gene cassettes containing antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in five
different sewage treatment plants (STPs) were characterized and quantified using …

The presence of antibiotic resistance gene cassettes in class I integrons was investigated in
24 sulfamethoxazole-resistant and-sensitive Acinetobacter isolates derived from two Danish …

Non-duplicate multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (n= 1447) isolated from January
2008 to December 2009 were investigated for the presence of integrons as well as …

Abstract Class 1 integrons (CL1s) are one of the major contributors to the horizontal transfer
of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, our knowledge of CL1 in the environment is …

In this study, antibiotic resistance class 3 integrons in Gram-negative bacteria isolated from
hospital sewage and sludge and their genetic contents were characterised. Two samples of …

Aims To characterize the integron‐harbouring Gram‐negative bacteria in recreational lakes,
with focus on the genetic content of integrons, antimicrobial resistance profiles and virulence …
