Abstract

The presence of class 1 integrons was investigated in 156 epidemiologically unrelated Salmonella Typhimurium isolates. Of these 156 isolates, 70 were of definitive phage type DT104 and 86 were strains of various phage type, RDNC and untypable, designated here as non-DT104 strains. Integrons were found in 47 of DT104 isolates (67.1%), while in all strains with characteristic pentaresistance (R-type ACSSuT) two integrons 1.0 kb and 1.2 kb in size were found. Among 86 non-DT104 strains, integrons with sizes of 1.6 kb and 1.9 kb in four multidrug-resistant strains DT193 and U302 were found. The integrons from selected strains were further sequenced and the aadA1, aadA2, dhfr1, dhfr12 and bla(PSE) genes were found embedded in cassettes.
