Detection and characterisation of integrons, gene cassettes and cassette-located antibiotic resistance genes in the human oral metagenome

Antibiotic resistance is a serious threat to public health. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a critical role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance, however, knowledge about the source of the resistance determinants and their mobile vectors is still limited. Integrons are natural gene cap...
