Article Synopsis
- Genomic islands (GIs) are important for the spread of antibiotic resistance and virulence in bacteria, but their classification is difficult due to genetic diversity and size.
- A new classification method was proposed to categorize GIs based on their mobility and analyze their gene content, revealing correlations between GI size and structure.
- The study found that self-transmissible GIs are typically larger and linked to antibiotic resistance, while non-mobilizable GIs use different mechanisms for insertion, highlighting the complexity of GI mobility in bacterial genomes.
is a clinically significant marine bacterium implicated in gastroenteritis among consumers of raw or undercooked seafood. This report presents the whole-genome sequence of a unique strain of isolated from oysters harvested in Canada.

Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) of the SXT/R391 family are key drivers of the spread of antibiotic resistance in , the infectious agent of cholera, and other pathogenic bacteria. The SXT/R391 family of ICEs was defined based on the conservation of a core set of 52 genes and site-specific integration into the 5' end of the chromosomal gene Hence, the integrase gene has been intensively used as a marker to detect SXT/R391 ICEs in clinical isolates. ICEs sharing most core genes but differing by their integration site and integrase gene have been recently reported and excluded from the SXT/R391 family.
