Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is undoubtedly one of the most successful
pathogens in the modern healthcare system. With invasive procedures, antibiotic use and …

Integrons are genetic elements that contain a site-specific recombination system able to
capture, express and exchange gene cassettes. Mobile integrons are widespread and often …

The integron platform allows the acquisition, expression, and dissemination of antibiotic
resistance genes within gene cassettes. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contain …
