Novel Mobile Integrons and Strain-Specific Integrase Genes within <i>Shewanella</i> spp. Unveil Multiple Lateral Genetic Transfer Events within The Genus

<i>Shewanella</i> spp. are Gram-negative bacteria that thrive in aquatic niches and also can cause infectious diseases as opportunistic pathogens. Chromosomal (CI) and mobile integrons (MI) were previously described in some <i>Shewanella</i> isolates. Here, we evaluated the o...
