Novel Mobile Integrons and Strain-Specific Integrase Genes within <em>Shewanella</em> spp. Unveil Multiple Lateral Genetic Transfer Events within the Genus
2022-04-19
Abstract excerpt
Shewanella spp. are gram-negative bacteria that thrive in aquatic niches and also cause infectious diseases as opportunistic pathogens. Chromosomal integrons (CI) and mobile integrons (MI) were previously described in some Shewanella isolates. Here, we evaluated the occurrence of integrase genes, the integron systems and their genetic surroundings in the genus. We identified 22 integrase gene types, 17 of which we...
