Abstract:

Integron is a mobile gene element being found recently. It could recognize drug resistance gene from outside. It can also recombine exogenous gene and express by site-specific recombination. In addition,integron is located at transposon or plasmid,and by being a part of it transmitting drug resistance gene. Researches on integron are attracting many interests for its importance in the generation of drug resistance and transmission.

Key words: Integron, Drug resistance gene, Transmission
