| Abstract: | Abstract A new integron, located on the R plasmid of Pseudomonas aeruginosa , was isolated in Japan. This integron was made up of two conserved segments (5'- and 3'-conserved segments) and a single streptomycin resistance gene as a gene cassette. The structure of this integron resembles that of integron InC, the existence of which was postulated by Bissonnette and Roy (J. Bacteriol. 174, 1248–1257, 1992). |
