Abstract excerpt
Genes borne on cassettes are mobile owing to site-specific recombination systems called integrons, which have created various combinations of antibiotic resistance genes in R-plasmids. In these processes, the palindromic site, attC (59-base element), at cassette junctions has been proposed as being essential. Excised and circularized cassettes have been found to integrate with preference for an attl site at one...
