Methods for the targeted sequencing and analysis of integrons and their gene cassettes from complex microbial communities
2021-09-08
Abstract excerpt
Integrons are bacterial genetic elements that can integrate mobile gene cassettes. They are mostly known for spreading antibiotic resistance cassettes among human pathogens. However, beyond clinical settings, gene cassettes encode an extraordinarily diverse range of functions important for bacterial adaptation. The recovery and sequencing of cassettes has promising applications, including: surveillance of clinical...
