Abstract:Multidrug Resistance (MDR) by Gram-negative bacteria is no longer a mystery as studies by researchers has revealed that integrons are amongst the genetic elements responsible for antimicrobial resistance. Integrons are known to consist of Integrase gene, attI site and promoter region. Integrons harbours gene cassettes containing various MDR genes. Polymerase chain reaction and Gel electrophoresis are one of the common ways of detecting integrons in Gram-negative bacteria. As at the time of this review, 4 class… Show more
