Class 1 Integrons in Environments with Different Degrees of Urbanization
BACKGROUND Class 1 integrons are one of the most successful elements in the acquisition, expression and spread of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) among clinical isolates. Little is known about the gene flow of the components of the genetic platforms of class 1 integrons within and between bacterial communities. Thus it is important to better understand the interactions among "environmental...
متن کاملPerformances of Biofilm Reactors
Water is one of the most important resources, and its availability for drinking, irrigation, and ecosystem’s habitat is still subject to anthropogenic disturbance. During the last decades, understanding aquatic pollution and improvement in water management have developed. One of the most effective achievements concerning water use is surely the establishment of biofilm reactors in common wastew...
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...
متن کاملStudy of class 1 integrons in multidrug-resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from different hospitals in Karachi
Objective(s): Escherichia coli is the key pathogen in the family producing ESBL (extended spectrum β-lactamase) and associated with community-acquired infections. Therefore, this study was planned to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of uropathogenic E. coli, prevalence of the ESBL gene group and class 1 integrons.Materials and Methods: Clinical isolates of uropathogenic E. coli w...
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...
