Resistance gene capture
D A Rowe-Magnus et al. Curr Opin Microbiol. 1999 Oct.
Abstract
Integrons are the primary mechanism for antibiotic-resistance gene capture and dissemination among Gram-negative bacteria. The recent finding of super-integron structures in the genomes of several bacterial species has expanded their role in genome evolution and suggests that they are the source of mobile multi-resistant integrons.
