Detection of gene cassettes in Tn402-like class 1 integrons.
Amplification of the gene cassettes in class 1 integrons by PCR using primers in the 5 conserved segment (5 -CS) and the 3 -CS (7, 8) has been used in hundreds of studies to identify integron-associated resistance genes (Fig. 1A). Equivalent PCR primers that detect cassettes in class 2 integrons, i.e., Tn7 family transposons (18), are also widely used. The approach used to detect integrons in a...
متن کاملIntegrons and gene cassettes in the enterobacteriaceae.
Integrons were detected in 59 of 120 (49%) urinary isolates of Enterobacteriaceae by PCR using degenerate primers targeted to conserved regions of class 1, 2, and 3 integrase genes. PCR sequencing analysis of the cassette arrays revealed a predominance of cassettes that confer resistance to the aminoglycosides and trimethoprim.
متن کاملDiverse Gene Cassettes in Class 1 Integrons of Facultative Oligotrophic Bacteria of River Mahananda, West Bengal, India
BACKGROUND In this study a large random collection (n=2188) of facultative oligotrophic bacteria, from 90 water samples gathered in three consecutive years (2007-2009) from three different sampling sites of River Mahananda in Siliguri, West Bengal, India, were investigated for the presence of class 1 integrons and sequences of the amplification products. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Replica...
متن کاملOrigin of class 1 and 2 integrons and gene cassettes in a population-based sample of uropathogenic Escherichia coli.
The prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTI) caused by trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX)-resistant Escherichia coli is increasing and varies geographically in the United States. Recent community-based UTI studies have demonstrated geographic clustering of an Escherichia coli clonal group, suggesting occurrence of a community outbreak of UTI. A large proportion of this clonal group (de...
متن کاملEmergence of dhfrXVb and blaCARB-4 gene cassettes in class 1 integrons from clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in Amazon region.
Integrons play a role in horizontal acquisition and expression of genes, as well as gene reservoir, contributing for the resistance phenotype, particularly relevant to bacteria of clinical importance. We aimed to determine the composition and the organization of the class 1 integron variable region present in Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates from Brazil. Strains carrying class 1 integro...
