Molecular epidemiology of orf513-bearing class 1 integrons in multiresistant clinical isolates from Argentinean hospitals.
The spread of orf513-bearing class 1 integrons is associated with bla(CTX-M-2) in gram-negative clinical isolates in Argentina, with In35 being the most frequently found integron (74%). Among 65 isolates without bla(CTX-M-2), only one harbored a novel orf513-bearing class 1 integron with the dfrA3b gene. The finding of orf513 not associated with class 1 integrons in two gram-positive strains in...
متن کاملPCR mapping of integrons reveals several novel combinations of resistance genes.
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 separated by a variable region containing one or more genes integrated as cassettes. Oligonucleotide probes specific for the conserved segments have revealed that integrons are widespread in recently isolated clinical bacteria. Also, by ...
متن کاملDefinition of the attI1 site of class 1 integrons.
Integron-encoded integrases recognize two distinct types of recombination site: attI sites, found in integrons, and members of the 59-base element (59-be) family, found in the integron-associated gene cassettes. The class 1 integron integrase, IntI1, catalyses recombination between attI1 and a 59-be, two 59-be, or two attI1 sites, but events involving two attI1 sites are less efficient than the...
متن کاملSequencing of blaIMP-Carrying IncN2 Plasmids, and Comparative Genomics of IncN2 Plasmids Harboring Class 1 Integrons
This work presents the complete nucleotide sequences of p0801-IMP from Klebsiella pneumoniae, p7121-IMP from K. oxytoca, and p17285-IMP from Citrobacter freundii, which are recovered from three different cases of nosocomial infection. These three plasmids represent the first fully sequenced blaIMP-carrying IncN2 plasmids. Further comparative genomics analysis of all the five integron-carrying I...
متن کاملDetection 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...
