Abstract

Integrons are modular genetic systems that allow bacteria to adapt to different environments. The objective of this review is to understand the structure of integrones, their participation in bacterial evolution and their role in the spread of resistance and virulence. Likewise we address how it is being used the flexible and recombinant nature at the biotechnological level, for promising applications in bioremediation, industry, agriculture and design of novel therapies to overcome the problem of antibiotic resistance.
