Vibrio repeats (VXRs) play a role in horizontal dissemination of sedentary chromosomal integron-associated antibiotic resistance genes across Vibrio species

Abstract Sedentary chromosomal integrons (SCIs) are large integrons that harbor extensive arrays of gene cassettes and constitute major reservoirs of bacterial genetic diversity. In Vibrio , SCI cassettes are flanked by species-associated attC repeats, here referred to as Vibrio...
