| Abstract: |
| Integrative and conjugative elements（ICEs）are selftransmissible mobile genetic elements that
mediate horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. ICEs and related elements can constitute a large proportion of bacterial
chromosomes，and bestow a wide range of phenotypes upon their host with carried gene cassettes. To study the role
of SXT/R391 ICEs in the growth of Vibrio， SXT/R391 ICEs were identified in the 26 completely sequenced Vibrio
genome using PrfC and their characteristic modules. The results showed that only SXT/R391 ICEs were found from 3
V. cholerae，and we comparatively analyzed the resistance genes and hotspots among 3 SXT/R391 ICEs. The region in
resistance genes and hotspots had similar structure in 3 SXT/R391 ICEs，it could indicate the precedence relation in 3
SXT/R391 ICEs based on the genes which lost or gained |
