Abstract excerpt
Class 1 integrons are an important vector for the spread of antibiotic resistance. The core of this genetic element is highly conserved in all class 1 integrons recovered from clinical contexts. Recently, bacteria containing more divergent class 1 integrons have been isolated from environmental samples, suggesting undiscovered diversity in these elements. We performed a culture-independent survey of the class 1...
