Abstract

Integrons are bacterial genetic elements notorious for their role in spreading antibiotic resistance in clinical settings. In the natural environment, integrons present a wide and hidden diversity, raising questions as to their broader role in bacterial adaptation. From the One Health perspective, they must be considered a threatening pool of resistance determinants.
