Abstract

Thirteen multidrug resistant (to 7 or more antimicrobial drugs) isolates of Salmonella enterica sv Virchow were analyzed by different molecular approaches. PCR amplification allowed the detection of several resistance (R) determinants and of integron and transposon sequences. The isolates were grouped into 11 resistance genotypes and 4 integron profiles. All of them were positive for class 1 integrons (with 3 different arrays of gene cassettes in the variable regions), and three isolates also contained the same class 2 integron. Specific sequences of transposons Tn2/, Tn7, Tn3 and Tn9 could be detected in some isolates. In addition, R-genes, integron and transposon sequences were carried by conjugative plasmids in 12 of the 13 isolates. Genomic typing with RAPD and JuM-PFGE macrorestriction discriminated the isolates, which proved to be highly heterogeneous, into 5 RAPD and 11 JfcM-profiles.
