Abstract
A sul3 domain (IS 440 - sul3 - orf1 -IS 26 ) was found linked to an unusual 3′ conserved sequence region ( qacH ) of class 1 integrons and detected among nontyphoid Salmonella isolates ( n = 47) from different sources. Three types of integrons differing in the gene cassette array ( dfrA12 - orfF - aadA2 - cmlA1 - aadA1 , dfrA12 - orfF - aadA2 / 1 , and estX - psp - aadA2 - cmlA1 - aadA1 ) were found associated with this sul3 domain. They were associated with particular clones and specific high-molecular-weight plasmids.Keywords
