<i>Salmonella</i> Genomic Island 1 (SGI1), Variant SGI1-I, and New Variant SGI1-O in <i>Proteus mirabilis</i> Clinical and Food Isolates from China

Abstract

Salmonella genomic island 1 (SGI1) and variants (SGI1-I and the new variant SGI1-O) were mapped in five strains of Proteus mirabilis isolated from humans and food in China. Sequencing showed that SGI1 and variants were integrated at the 3' end of the chromosomal thdF gene as previously described for Salmonella strains.
