Comparison of integron mediated antimicrobial resistance in clinical isolates of Escherichia coli from urinary and bacteremic sources
Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat driven mainly by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mechanisms through mobile genetic elements (MGEs) including integrons. The variable region (VR) of an integron can acquire or excise gene cassettes (GCs) that confer resistance to an...
