Integrons 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.

Integrons and the Origin of Antibiotic Resistance Gene Cassettes

I ntegrons, which are natural genetic engineering platforms, can incorporate open reading frames and convert them to functional genes by ensuring correct expression. Although such integrons play a major role in multidrug resistance phenomena among gram-negative species, similar platforms occur in numerous bacterial species, where they can play other roles. Meanwhile, we have evidence suggesting...

Gene cassettes and cassette arrays in mobile resistance integrons.

Gene cassettes are small mobile elements, consisting of little more than a single gene and recombination site, which are captured by larger elements called integrons. Several cassettes may be inserted into the same integron forming a tandem array. The discovery of integrons in the chromosome of many species has led to the identification of thousands of gene cassettes, mostly of unknown function...

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...

Mobile gene cassettes and integrons: capture and spread of genes by site-specific recombination.

An integron is a genetic unit that includes the determinants of the components of a site-specific recombination system capable of capturing and mobilizing genes that are contained in mobile elements called gene cassettes. An integron also provides a promoter for expression of the cassette genes, and integrons thus act both as natural cloning systems and as expression vectors. The essential comp...
