Sajjad A, Holley M, Labbate M, Stokes H, Gillings M
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2010 Nov; 77(1):335-7. PMID: 21037292
The presence of integrons was assessed in gut bacteria isolated from wild-caught prawns. A pseudomonad was recovered that contained a Tn402-like class 1 integron with a complete transposition module and...

Gillings M, Labbate M, Sajjad A, Giguere N, Holley M, Stokes H
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2009 Aug; 75(18):6002-4. PMID: 19648375
A Tn402-like class 1 integron was recovered from a prawn-associated bacterium. One of its cassettes included methionine sulfoxide reductase genes, the first example of such genes being captured by an...

Gillings M, Holley M, Stokes H
FEMS Microbiol Lett . 2009 May; 296(2):282-8. PMID: 19459951
Class 1 integrons carried by pathogens have acquired over 100 different gene cassettes encoding resistance to antimicrobial compounds, helping to generate a crisis in the management of infectious disease. It...

Gillings M, Xuejun D, Hardwick S, Holley M, Stokes H
ISME J . 2008 Oct; 3(2):209-15. PMID: 18923456
DNA sequencing, phylogenetic and mapping studies suggest that the class 1 integron found in pathogens arose when one member of the diverse family of environmental class 1 integrons became embedded...

Smith S, Beattie A, Gillings M, Holley M, J Stow A, Turnbull C, et al.
J Microbiol Methods . 2007 Dec; 72(1):103-6. PMID: 18054097
Bioprospecting for novel antimicrobials increasingly relies on extremely small samples unsuitable for conventional bulk extraction and assay. We developed a microtitre plate assay for minimal amounts of test materials which...

Gillings M, Holley M, Stokes H, Holmes A
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2005 Mar; 102(12):4419-24. PMID: 15755815
Integrons are best known for assembling antibiotic resistance genes in clinical bacteria. They capture genes by using integrase-mediated site-specific recombination of mobile gene cassettes. Integrons also occur in the chromosomes...

Michael C, Gillings M, Holmes A, Hughes L, Andrew N, Holley M, et al.
Am Nat . 2004 Jul; 164(1):1-12. PMID: 15266366
Horizontal gene transfer increases genetic diversity in prokaryotes to a degree not allowed by the limitations of reproduction by binary fission. The integron/gene cassette system is one of the most...

Holmes A, Holley M, Mahon A, Nield B, Gillings M, Stokes H
J Bacteriol . 2003 Jan; 185(3):918-28. PMID: 12533467
Class 1 integrons have strongly influenced the evolution of multiple antibiotic resistance. Diverse integrons have recently been detected directly in a range of natural environments. In order to characterize the...
