    The cryptic plasmid pGY1, which is harbored by a clinical isolate of Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi A, was identified in a 9-year-old girl with paratyphoid fever in 2005, and its DNA sequence was determined. It is 3592 bp in length and had a G+C content of 43.3%. Three ORFs were predicted that share low similarity with hypothetical proteins in the GenBank database. pGY1 shared 36.6% sequence homology with the cryptic plasmid pIMVS1 from Salmonella typhimurium. Its unique sequence makes it attractive for further study to obtain insight into the evolutionary relationship of this plasmid with other Enterobacteriaceae plasmids.
