We have divided this review into two major sections. In one, we have attempted to present
an overview of our current understanding of prokaryotic insertion sequences (IS), their …

In multiply resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, complex transposons located in the
chromosomal comM gene carry antibiotic and heavy metal resistance determinants. For one …

ABSTRACT SXT/R391 integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) were detected in 8 out of
125 Proteus mirabilis isolates from food-producing animals in China. Whole-genome …

ABSTRACT Pseudomonas stutzeri AN10 (CCUG 29243) can be considered a model strain
for aerobic naphthalene degradation. We report the complete genome sequence of this …

Flavobacterium columnare is a Gram-negative fish pathogen causing columnaris disease in
wild and cultured fish species. Although the pathogen is widespread in aquatic …

Evolutionary studies often identify genes that have been exchanged between different
organisms and the phrase Lateral or Horizontal Gene Transfer is often used in this context …

Some VanM-type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates from China are also
resistant to fosfomycin. To investigate the mechanism of fosfomycin resistance in these …

Functional transposable elements (TEs) of several Pseudomonas spp. strains isolated from
black shale ore of Lubin mine and from post-flotation tailings of Zelazny Most in Poland …

Sir, Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii isolates are increasingly reported
worldwide, often being the source of nosocomial infections. 1 The 86 kb resistance island …

The aim of this study was to analyse R997, the first integrative and conjugative element
(ICE) isolated from the Indian Sub-Continent, and to determine its relationship to the …
