Abstract
Three distinct multiresistant loci from enterobacterial plasmids each comprised an integron and an IS26-associated sequence. Sequence comparison suggested a common ancestral structure that derived from an IS26 insertion into the 5' conserved segment of an In4-type integron and evolved through acquisition of gene cassettes and IS26-mediated recruitment of additional resistance genes of diverse origin.Entities:
