Background
• Microbial drug resistance (DR) is a
growing concern among health
professionals and others around the world.
• DR Issues that can be studied in a
problem space environment include
– Types of Drug classes
– Types of Bacteria
– Mechanism of Action
– Mechanisms of DR

Multidrug Resistance Region of Salmonella
enterica Serovar Typhimurium DT104
• Outbreaks of MDR Typhimurium DT104 have
also been reported in poultry, beef, cheese,
and swine in numerous countries
• Resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol,
streptomycin, sulfonamides, and tetracycline
• however, isolates have been identified which
are also resistant to fluoroquinolones,
trimethoprim, and kanamycin
• antimicrobial resistance gene is clustered on a
fragment of less than 46 kb
Task: Identify Resistance ORFs
• Students are given pieces
of nucleotide sequence of
SGi1 to identify homology

CDC Case Study
• Variant Salmonella Genomic Island 1
Antibiotic Resistance Gene Cluster in
Salmonella enterica Serovar Albany
– Benoît Doublet et.al. Emerg Infect Dis 2003 May
Available from: URL:
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol9no5/02-0609.htm
Something’s fishy
• A variant SGI1, Salmonella genomic island 1,
was identified as an antibiotic-resistance gene
cluster in a multidrug-resistant strain of S.
enterica serovar Albany isolated from food fish
from Thailand and imported to France.
• In this strain, the streptomycin resistance aadA2
gene cassette in one of the SGI1 integrons was
replaced by a dfrA1 gene cassette, conferring
resistance to trimethoprim and an open reading
frame of unknown function.
