A conjugative IncL/M plasmid (pSEM) conferring resistance to
gentamicin, amikacin, kanamycin, sulfonamides, and expanded-spectrum cephalosporins was found in pathogenic strains of Salmonella
enterica serotype Typhimurium. Resistance to aminoglycosides was
encoded by a sul1-type class 1 integron (In-t3). An
extended-spectrum beta-lactamase gene,
blaSHV-5, was identified 3.5 kb downstream of
the integrase (intI1) gene of In-t3. Nucleotide sequence
analysis of the 5.3-kb blaSHV-5-In-t3 region
of pSEM highlighted striking similarities with IncL/M plasmids isolated
from nosocomial gram-negative pathogens, conferring resistance to
expanded-spectrum cephalosporins and aminoglycosides.
