The Association between Insertion Sequences and Antibiotic Resistance Genes

The Association between Insertion Sequences and Antibiotic Resistance Genes

ABSTRACT Insertion sequences (ISs) are abundant mobile genetic elements on bacterial genomes, responsible for mobilization of many genes, including antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). As ARGs often occur in similar genetic contexts, understanding which ISs tend to be associated with known ARGs could...
