In Silico Detection of Antimicrobial Resistance Integrons in <i>Salmonella enterica</i> Isolates from Countries of the Andean Community

Antimicrobial resistance genes are often associated with integrons, which promote their movement between and within DNA molecules. IntFinder 1.0 and I-VIP v1.2 were used for the detection of integrons and their associated resistance genes in assembled sequences and raw reads. A dataset comprising 16...
