SGI0, a relative of Salmonella genomic islands SGI1 and SGI2, lacking a class 1 integron, found in Proteus mirabilis

Several groups of integrative mobilizable elements (IMEs) that harbour a class 1 integron carrying antibiotic resistance genes have been found at the 3′-end of the chromosomal trmE gene. Here, a new IME, designated SGI0, was found in trmE in the sequenced and assembled genome of a French clinical, multiply antibiotic resistant Proteus mirabilis strain, Pm1LENAR. SGI0 shares the same gene content as the backbones of SGI1 and SGI2 (overall 97.6%...
