Abstract

Salmonella genomic island 2 (SGI2) is an independently derived genomic island related to SGI1 with the integron in a different position. The integron in SGI2 was found to include an additional 2.1 kb derived from the tni module of Tn5058, Tn502, or Tn512 that was not detected previously. Independent evolution of the backbone was confirmed with 21 single base differences found in over 11.5 kb, representing 40% of the 27.4-kb SGI2 backbone.
