Multidrug resistance genes are associated with a 42-kb island TGI1 carrying a complex class 1 integron in Trueperella pyogenes
ConclusionsMultiple resistance genes are located in a complex class 1 integron within a 42-kb T. pyogenes genomic island (TGI1), leading TP1 multiple drug resistance. In comparison with SG1 families, TGI1 possesses versatile gene distribution and specific gene context for its upstream and downstream, and it represents a new lineage of genomic resistance islands.
