Abstract
In Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (Typhimurium), multidrug resistance is associated with integrons carrying resistance genes dispersed by mobile genetic elements. This exploratory systematic review sought to identify integron types and their resistance genes in multidrug resistance Typhimurium isolates. We used Medline, PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect, Redalyc, and Google Scholar as motor searchers for articles in Spanish or English published between 2012 and 2020, including the keywords “integrons”, “antibiotic resistance”, and “Salmonella Typhimurium”. We included 38 articles reporting multidrug resistance up to five antibiotic families. Class 1 integrons with aadA2 and blaPSE-1 gene cassettes were predominant, some probably related to the Salmonella genomic island 1. We did not find studies detailing class 1 and 2 integrons in the same isolate, nor class 3 integrons reported. The presence of integrons largely explains the resistance profiles found in isolates from different sources in 15 countries.

WATER RESEARCH 2023; 231:119629. [PMID: 36689882 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Environmental pollution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has been a great public concern. Integrons, as mobile genetic elements, with versatile gene acquisition systems facilitate the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and pollution disseminations of ARGs. However, little is understood about the characteristics of ARGs mediated by integrons, which hampers our monitoring and control of the mobile antimicrobial resistance risks. To address these issues, we reviewed 3,322 publications concerning detection methods and pipeline, ARG diversity and evolutionary progress, environmental and geographical distribution, bacterial hosts, gene cassettes arrangements, and based on which to identify ARGs with high risk levels mediated by integrons. Diverse ARGs of 516 subtypes attributed to 12 types were capable of being carried by integrons, with 62 core ARG subtypes prevalent in pollution source, natural and human-related environments. Hosts of ARG-carrying integrons reached 271 bacterial species, most frequently carried by opportunistic pathogens Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Moreover, the observed emergence of ARGs together with their multiple arrangements indicated the accumulation of ARGs mediated by integrons, and thus pose increasing HGT risks under modern selective agents. With the concerns of public health, we urgently call for a better monitoring and control of these high-risk ARGs. Our identified Risk Rank I ARGs (aacA7, blaOXA10, catB3, catB8, dfrA5) with high mobility, reviewed key trends and noteworthy advancements, and proposed future directions could be reference and guidance for standard formulation.

Evaluation of Antibiotic Resistance of Salmonella Serotypes and Whole-Genome Sequencing of Multiresistant Strains Isolated from Food Products in Russia. Antibiotics (Basel) 2021; 11:1. [PMID: 35052878 PMCID: PMC8773070 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11010001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Food products may be a source of Salmonella, one of the main causal agents of food poisoning, especially after the emergence of strains resistant to antimicrobial preparations. The present work dealt with investigation of the occurrence of resistance to antimicrobial preparations among S. enterica strains isolated from food. The isolates belonged to 11 serovars, among which Infantis (28%), Enteritidis (19%), and Typhimurium (13.4%) predominated. The isolates were most commonly resistant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (n = 19, 59.38%), cefazolin (n = 15, 46.86%), tetracycline (n = 13, 40.63%), and amikacin (n = 9, 28.13%). Most of the strains (68.75%) exhibited multiple resistance to commonly used antibiotics. High-throughput sequencing was used to analyse three multidrug-resistant strains (resistant to six or more antibiotics). Two of them (SZL 30 and SZL 31) belonged to S. Infantis, while one strain belonged to S. Typhimurium (SZL 38). Analysis of the genomes of the sequenced strains revealed the genes responsible for antibiotic resistance. In the genomes of strains SZL 30 and SZL 31 the genes of antibiotic resistance were shown to be localized mostly in integrons within plasmids, while most of the antibiotic resistance genes of strain SZL 38 were localized in a chromosomal island (17,949 nt). Genomes of the Salmonella strains SZL 30, SZL 31, and SZL 38 were shown to contain full-size pathogenicity islands: SPI-1, SPI-2, SPI-4, SPI-5, SPI-9, SPI-11, SPI-13, SPI-14, and CS54. Moreover, the genome of strain SZL 38 was also found to contain the full-size pathogenicity islands SPI-3, SPI-6, SPI-12, and SPI-16. The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of various Salmonella serovars indicates that further research on the transmission pathways for these genetic determinants and monitoring of the distribution of these microorganisms are necessary.

In Silico Detection of Antimicrobial Resistance Integrons in Salmonella enterica Isolates from Countries of the Andean Community. Antibiotics (Basel) 2021; 10:antibiotics10111388. [PMID: 34827328 PMCID: PMC8614897 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics10111388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
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 1688 sequenced Salmonella enterica isolates from countries of the Andean Community was developed. A total of 749 and 680 integrons were identified by IntFinder 1.0 and I-VIP v1.2, respectively; class 2 integrons were the most abundant followed by class 1, whereas no class 3 integrons were detected. These elements were mainly associated with isolates from animal sources. S. Infantis ST32 contained the majority of integrons. Trimethoprim resistance genes (dfrA) were found in greater numbers than others, including aadA and bla genes. The presence of these resistance integrons may come as a response to antibiotic misuse, especially of co-trimoxazole. This represents a public health risk as novel resistant strains might appear due to gene dissemination. The information gathered from in silico studies not only contributes to our understanding of integron dynamics in pathogenic Salmonella, but also helps identify potential emergent patterns of resistance in the region, which is fundamental for developing pertinent antibiotic surveillance programs.

Abstract
Class D β-lactamases are composed of 14 families and the majority of the member enzymes are included in the OXA family. The genes for class D β-lactamases are frequently identified in the chromosome as an intrinsic resistance determinant in environmental bacteria and a few of these are found in mobile genetic elements carried by clinically significant pathogens. The most dominant OXA family among class D β-lactamases is superheterogeneous and the family needs to have an updated scheme for grouping OXA subfamilies through phylogenetic analysis. The OXA enzymes, even the members within a subfamily, have a diverse spectrum of resistance. Such varied activity could be derived from their active sites, which are distinct from those of the other serine β-lactamases. Their substrate profile is determined according to the size and position of the P-, Ω- and β5-β6 loops, assembling the active-site channel, which is very hydrophobic. Also, amino acid substitutions occurring in critical structures may alter the range of hydrolysed substrates and one subfamily could include members belonging to several functional groups. This review aims to describe the current class D β-lactamases including the functional groups, occurrence types (intrinsic or acquired) and substrate spectra and, focusing on the major OXA family, a new model for subfamily grouping will be presented.

Genotypic and phenotypic traits of bla CTX-M-carrying Escherichia coli strains from an UV-C-treated wastewater effluent. WATER RESEARCH 2020; 184:116079.

Abstract
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are relevant sources of antibiotic resistance into aquatic environments. Disinfection of WWTPs' effluents (e.g. by UV-C irradiation) may attenuate this problem, though some clinically relevant bacteria have been shown to survive disinfection. In this study we characterized 25 CTX-M-producing Escherichia coli strains isolated from a WWTP's UV-C-irradiated effluent, aiming to identify putative human health hazards associated with such effluents. Molecular typing indicated that the strains belong to the phylogroups A, B2 and C and clustered into 9 multilocus sequence types (STs), namely B2:ST131 (n = 7), A:ST58 (n = 1), A:ST155 (n = 4), C:ST410 (n = 2), A:ST453 (n = 2), A:ST617 (n = 2), A:ST744 (n = 1), A:ST1284 (n = 3) and a putative novel ST (n = 3). PCR-screening identified 9 of the 20 antibiotic resistance genes investigated [i.e. sul1, sul2, sul3, tet(A), tet(B), blaOXA-1-like, aacA4, aacA4-cr and qnrS1]. The more prevalent were sul1, sul2 (n = 15 isolates) and tet(A) (n = 14 isolates). Plasmid restriction analysis indicated diverse plasmid content among strains (14 distinct profiles) and mating assays yielded cefotaxime-resistant transconjugants for 8 strains. Two of the transconjugants displayed a multi-drug resistance (MDR) phenotype. All strains were classified as cytotoxic to Vero cells (9 significantly more cytotoxic than the positive control) and 10 of 21 strains were invasive towards this cell line (including all B2:ST131 strains). The 10 strains tested against G. mellonella larvae exhibited a virulent behaviour. Twenty-four and 7 of the 25 strains produced siderophores and haemolysins, respectively. Approximately 66% of the strains formed biofilms. Genome analysis of 6 selected strains identified several virulence genes encoding toxins, siderophores, and colonizing, adhesion and invasion factors. Freshwater microcosms assays showed that after 28 days of incubation 3 out of 6 strains were still detected by cultivation and 4 strains by qPCR. Resistance phenotypes of these strains remained unaltered. Overall, we confirmed WWTP's UV-C-treated outflow as a source of MDR and/or virulent E. coli strains, some probably capable of persisting in freshwater, and that carry conjugative antibiotic resistance plasmids. Hence, disinfected wastewater may still represent a risk for human health. More detailed evaluation of strains isolated from wastewater effluents is urgent, to design treatments that can mitigate the release of such bacteria.

Abstract
A cross-sectional study was conducted between December, 2013, and May, 2014, to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance feature of Salmonella isolated from broilers slaughtered in Debre Zeit and Modjo towns, Ethiopia. A total of 384 caecal content samples were collected for microbiological examination following the standard techniques and procedures outlined by the International Organization for Standardization to isolate Salmonella. The sensitivity of the isolates subjected to nine antimicrobials was tested by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The overall prevalence of Salmonella was 14.6%, and its occurrence differ significantly by farm (p < 0.05). The occurrence of the bacteria was not statistically different in the midland (15.2%) and lowland (13.3%) (p > 0.05) and between males (13.5%) and females (15.6) (p > 0.05). Of the 50 isolates, 48 were resistant to at least one drug. Multidrug resistance was recorded in 43 (86.0%) of the isolates. The study demonstrated considerable prevalence and high antimicrobial resistant Salmonella in exotic chicken and indicates the potential importance of chickens as source of foodborne salmonellosis and multiple antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella. Improving the hygienic practice of farms could help to reduce the occurrence of Salmonella in farms. Further studies are needed to describe the risk factors associated with the emergence of drug-resistant Salmonella in chicken.

Abstract
Salmonellosis remains one of the most frequent foodborne zoonosis, constituting a worldwide major public health concern. The most frequent sources of human infections are food products of animal origin, being pork meat one of the most relevant. Currently, particular pig food production well-adapted and persistent Salmonella enterica serotypes (e.g., Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella 1,4,[5],12:i:-, Salmonella Derby and Salmonella Rissen) are frequently reported associated with human infections in diverse industrialized countries. The dissemination of those clinically-relevant Salmonella serotypes/clones has been related to the intensification of pig production chain and to an increase in the international trade of pigs and pork meat. Those changes that occurred over the years along the food chain may act as food chain drivers leading to new problems and challenges, compromising the successful control of Salmonella. Among those, the emergence of antibiotic resistance in non-typhoidal Salmonella associated with antimicrobials use in the pig production chain is of special concern for public health. The transmission of pig-related multidrug-resistant Salmonella serotypes, clones and/or genetic elements carrying clinically-relevant antibiotic resistance genes, frequently associated with metal tolerance genes, from pigs and pork meat to humans, has been reported and highlights the contribution of different drivers to the antibiotic resistance burden. Gathered data strengthen the need for global mandatory interventions and strategies for effective Salmonella control and surveillance across the pig production chain. The purpose of this review was to provide an overview of the role of pig and pork meat in human salmonellosis at a global scale, highlighting the main factors contributing to the persistence and dissemination of clinically-relevant pig-related Salmonella serotypes and clones.

Abstract
Non-typhoidal serovars of Salmonella enterica (NTS) are a leading cause of food-borne disease in animals and humans worldwide. Like other zoonotic bacteria, NTS have the potential to act as reservoirs and vehicles for the transmission of antimicrobial drug resistance in different settings. Of particular concern is the resistance to critical "last resort" antimicrobials, such as carbapenems. In contrast to other Enterobacteriaceae (e.g., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter, which are major nosocomial pathogens affecting debilitated and immunocompromised patients), carbapenem resistance is still very rare in NTS. Nevertheless, it has already been detected in isolates recovered from humans, companion animals, livestock, wild animals, and food. Five carbapenemases with major clinical importance-namely KPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase) (class A), IMP (imipenemase), NDM (New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase), VIM (Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase) (class B), and OXA-48 (oxacillinase, class D)-have been reported in NTS. Carbapenem resistance due to the production of extended spectrum- or AmpC β-lactamases combined with porin loss has also been detected in NTS. Horizontal gene transfer of carbapenemase-encoding genes (which are frequently located on self-transferable plasmids), together with co- and cross-selective adaptations, could have been involved in the development of carbapenem resistance by NTS. Once acquired by a zoonotic bacterium, resistance can be transmitted from humans to animals and from animals to humans through the food chain. Continuous surveillance of resistance to these "last resort" antibiotics is required to establish possible links between reservoirs and to limit the bidirectional transfer of the encoding genes between S. enterica and other commensal or pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Salmonella is an enteropathogen acquired through contaminated food or water. In Colombia, Salmonella spp. is included in the national surveillance of Acute Diarrhoeal Diseases and typhoid fever initiated in 1997. This report shows the phenotype and genotype results obtained from 2005 to 2011. METHODS A total of 4010 isolates of Salmonella enterica were analysed by serotyping with Kauffmann-White-LeMinor, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). RESULTS A total of 93 serovars were identified, of which, Typhimurium, Enteritidis, Typhi, Dublin, Panama, Derby, Braenderup, Saintpaul, and Uganda were prominent. The highest levels of resistance were found for tetracycline and nalidixic acid. Susceptibility was observed in 52.4% (2101/4010) of the isolates. Multi-resistance was recorded in 54.9% of Typhimurium isolates, with 81 different combinations. Using PFGE, 51.9% (2083/4010) isolates were analysed in 34 serovars, and 828 electrophoretic patterns were obtained. From these, 8 patterns were found in at least two Latin-American countries. CONCLUSION The surveillance of Salmonella spp. provides information on the serovar distribution, antimicrobial resistance, and clonal distribution in Colombia, as well as information to treat this disease and control the spread of antimicrobial bacterial resistance.

Abstract
While screening for new antimicrobial agents for multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica, the novel lytic bacteriophage STP4-a was isolated and characterized. Phage morphology revealed that STP4-a belongs to the family Myoviridae. Bacterial challenge assays showed that different serovars of Salmonella enterica were susceptible to STP4-a infection. The genomic characteristics of STP4-a, containing 159,914 bp of dsDNA with an average GC content of 36.86 %, were determined. Furthermore, the endolysin of STP4-a was expressed and characterized. The novel endolysin, LysSTP4, has hydrolytic activity towards outer-membrane-permeabilized S. enterica and Escherichia coli. These results provide essential information for the development of novel phage-based biocontrol agents against S. enterica.

Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of Salmonella isolated from different parts of the food production chain, and to characterize these isolates. A total of 165 Salmonella enterica isolates were identified from 1382 samples taken from conventional farms, abattoirs and retail markets from 2010 to 2011 in Sichuan, China. The Salmonella isolates were assayed for serotype, antimicrobial susceptibility, prevalence of class 1 integrons and β-lactamase genes, and subtyped using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Among these isolates, S. enterica serotypes Derby (76 isolates, 46%) and Typhimurium (16 isolates, 10%) were the most prevalent, and high antimicrobial resistance rates were observed for tetracycline (77%), sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (43%), nalidixic acid (41%) and spectinomycin (41%). Class 1 integrons were detected in 21% of these isolates, and contained gene cassettes dfrA12-aadA2, dfrA1-aadA1, dfrA1, blaPSE-1 and dfrA1/aadA2. blaOXA-1 was the most commonly identified β-lactamase gene (n=14), followed by blaTEM-1 (n=6), blaPSE-1 (n=4) and blaCMY-2 (n=1). A S. enterica serotype Indiana isolate derived from chicken from a market was positive for both blaOXA-1 and blaCMY-2, and resistant to nine tested antibiotics. The PFGE patterns were diverse. Our findings indicated that most isolates from different sampling sites were phenotypically and genetically diverse, and Salmonella was widespread and may transmit along the food production chain from farm to market. Isolates with decreased susceptibility to fluoroquinolones and extended-spectrum cephalosporins, which are used to fight foodborne Salmonella, pose a serious threat to public health.

Abstract
The bla(NDM-1) gene has been reported to be often located on broad-host-range plasmids of the IncA/C type in clinical but also environmental bacteria recovered from the New Delhi, India, area. IncA/C-type plasmids are the main vehicles for the spread of the cephalosporinase gene bla(CMY-2), frequently identified in the United States, Canada, and Europe. In this study, we completed the sequence of IncA/C plasmid pNDM-KN carrying the bla(NDM-1) gene, recovered from a Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate from Kenya. This sequence was compared with those of three IncA/C-type reference plasmids from Escherichia coli, Yersinia ruckeri, and Photobacterium damselae. Comparative analysis showed that the bla(NDM-1) gene was located on a widely diffused plasmid scaffold known to be responsible for the spread of bla(CMY-2)-like genes and consequently for resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins. Considering that IncA/C plasmids possess a broad host range, this scaffold might support a large-scale diffusion of the bla(NDM-1) gene among Gram-negative rods.

Abstract
Twenty-nine IMP-type β-lactamases (IMPs) have been identified in at least 26 species of clinically important Gram-negative bacilli from more than 24 countries/regions. Most of bla(IMP) genes are harbored by class 1 integrons that are usually embedded in transposons and/or plasmids, footnoting their horizontal transfer and worldwide distribution. bla(IMP) genes usually co-exist with other resistance genes, such as aacA, catB, and bla(OXA), resulting in multi-drug resistance. Compared to other gene cassettes, 76.3% of the bla(IMP) gene cassettes are located adjacent to Pc promoter of the class 1 integrons, indicating that the bla(IMP) genes are readily expressed in most of bacterial hosts.

Abstract
Antimicrobial coatings can reduce the occurrence of medical device-related bacterial infections. Poly(2-(dimethylamino ethyl)methacrylate) (pDMAEMA) is one such polymer that is being researched in this regard. The aims of this study were to (1) elucidate pDMAEMA's antimicrobial activity against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and (2) to investigate its antimicrobial mode of action. The methods used include determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against various bacteria and the effect of pH and temperature on antimicrobial activity. The ability of pDMAEMA to permeabilise bacterial membranes was determined using the dyes 1-N-phenyl-naphthylamine and calcein-AM. Flow cytometry was used to investigate pDMAEMA's capacity to be internalized by bacteria and to determine effects on bacterial cell cycling. pDMAEMA was bacteriostatic against Gram-negative bacteria with MIC values between 0.1-1 mg/mL. MIC values against Gram-positive bacteria were variable. pDMAEMA was active against Gram-positive bacteria around its pK(a) and at lower pH values, while it was active against Gram-negative bacteria around its pK(a) and at higher pH values. pDMAEMA inhibited bacterial growth by binding to the outside of the bacteria, permeabilizing the outer membrane and disrupting the cytoplasmic membrane. By incorporating pDMAEMA with erythromycin, it was found that the efficacy of the latter was increased against Gram-negative bacteria. Together, the results illustrate that pDMAEMA acts in a similar fashion to other cationic biocides.

Abstract
Horizontal gene transfer and clonal expansion contribute substantially to the dissemination of resistant strains Salmonellaenterica bacteria have become increasingly resistant to antimicrobial agents, partly as a result of genes carried on integrons. Clonal expansion and horizontal gene transfer may contribute to the spread of antimicrobial drug–resistance integrons in these organisms. We investigated this resistance and integron carriage among 90 isolates with the ACSSuT phenotype (resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, and tetracycline) in a global collection of S. enterica isolates. Four integrons, dfrA12/orfF/aadA2, dfrA1/aadA1, dfrA7, and arr2/blaOXA30/cmlA5/aadA2, were found in genetically unrelated isolates from 8 countries on 4 continents, which supports a role for horizontal gene transfer in the global dissemination of S. enterica multidrug resistance. Serovar Typhimurium isolates containing identical integrons with the gene cassettes blaPSE1 and aadA2 were found in 4 countries on 3 continents, which supports the role of clonal expansion. This study demonstrates that clonal expansion and horizontal gene transfer contribute to the global dissemination of antimicrobial drug resistance in S. enterica.

Abstract
Gene cassettes are small mobile elements, consisting of little more than a single gene and recombination site, which are captured by larger elements called integrons. Several cassettes may be inserted into the same integron forming a tandem array. The discovery of integrons in the chromosome of many species has led to the identification of thousands of gene cassettes, mostly of unknown function, while integrons associated with transposons and plasmids carry mainly antibiotic resistance genes and constitute an important means of spreading resistance. An updated compilation of gene cassettes found in sequences of such 'mobile resistance integrons' in GenBank was facilitated by a specially developed automated annotation system. At least 130 different (<98% identical) cassettes that carry known or predicted antibiotic resistance genes were identified, along with many cassettes of unknown function. We list exemplar GenBank accession numbers for each and address some nomenclature issues. Various modifications to cassettes, some of which may be useful in tracking cassette epidemiology, are also described. Despite potential biases in the GenBank dataset, preliminary analysis of cassette distribution suggests interesting differences between cassettes and may provide useful information to direct more systematic studies.

Abstract
In this study, 119 multidrug-resistant isolates of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica serovars collected in Spain (2002-2004) were screened for integrons. Among the isolates, 73.1% contained class 1 integrons, however classes 2 and 3 were not detected. Integrons containing gene cassettes were found in S. Enteritidis (16/32), S. Typhimurium biphasic (18/32) and monophasic [4,5,12:i:-] (11/19), S. Virchow (17/18) and S. Brandenburg (8/8), but not in S. Hadar (0/10). Ten complete and four incomplete gene cassettes, combined in 10 variable regions, were identified, one of which (2100 bp/dfrA1-597 bp-aadA24) was a new description. Most integrons mapped on plasmids of ca. 40-340 kb. Exceptions were 1000 bp/aadA2 and 1200 bp/bla PSE-1 found on the chromosome of biphasic S. Typhimurium, probably as part of SGI1-like structures.

Abstract
In this study, antibiotic resistance profiles, and the presence of class 1 integrons were determined for 108 Salmonella isolates comprising 37 serotypes cultured from a variety of sources between 1953 and 2004. Antibiogram analyses showed that all isolates were resistant to streptomycin/spectinomycin. Molecular analysis revealed that 50% of the collection contained an integrase-encoding gene (int1) and 25% contained class 1 integrons. A Salmonella Wien isolate possessing a complete class 1 integron with a dfrA5-ereA2 gene arrangement within the variable region was characterized.
