Unravelling novel mechanisms of horizontal transfer of integrons in bacteria: implications for the dissemination of antibiotic resistance

The widespread use of antibiotics has resulted in rapid evolution of bacterial genomes facilitated by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Class 1 integrons are dynamic genetic units responsible for the ongoing spread of resistance genes in clinical settings. Identical integrons have been found in th...
