Incidence of the Recently Described Sulfonamide Resistance Gene sul3 among German Salmonella enterica Strains Isolated from Livestock and Food

Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, National Salmonella Reference Laboratory, D-12277 Berlin, Germany

Received 1 December 2003/ Returned for modification 6 March 2004/ Accepted 28 March 2004

The sul3 gene recently described in Escherichia coli was found in 22 of 512 (4.3%) German Salmonella isolates from different regions and sources and of different serotypes, antimicrobial resistance phenotypes, and genomic groups. This is the first report on the prevalence of sul3 among Salmonella strains, and the findings support the strong potential of this determinant to spread within bacterial populations.
