Integrons: mobilizable platforms that promote genetic diversity in bacteria.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Jul 2007

Boucher Yan, Labbate Maurizio, Koenig Jeremy E, Stokes H W

Abstract excerpt

Integrons facilitate the capture of potentially adaptive exogenous genetic material by their host genomes. It is now clear that integrons are not limited to the clinical contexts in which they were originally discovered because approximately 10% of bacterial genomes that have been partially or completely sequenced harbour this genetic element. This wealth of sequence information has revealed that integrons are...
