Integrall is a database that seeks to document and annotate integrons and all other transposable elements that confer resistance to antibiotics in bacteria.[1]

As of release 1.2, Integrall contains ~4800 integron sequences.[1] Transposable elements and Integrons in bacteria are a major threat in the field of antimicrobial drug research because they allow bacteria to develop resistances through interbacterial interactions.[2][3] They allow bacteria to develop resistances that they typically cannot.[3] Thus, Integrall seeks to be a comprehensive and unified database that facilitates the understanding and usage of integron information. Integrall is built on PHP5 using MySQL 5.0.
