Genetic environment of quinolone resistance gene qnrB2 in a complex sul1-type integron in the newly described Salmonella enterica serovar Keurmassar

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2006 Sep;50(9):3200-2. doi: 10.1128/AAC.00293-06.

Abstract

A qnrB2 determinant was described for a new complex sul1-type integron from Salmonella enterica serovar Keurmassar. The genetic structure contained two class 1 integrons surrounding two common regions (CRs) separated by a partial 3' conserved segment. The qnrB2 gene is adjacent to the first CR.
