Abstract
From 1992 to 1997, only six sporadic isolates of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis from patients with cases of gastroenteritis in southern Italy exhibited resistance to broad-spectrum cephalosporins. Five isolates produced SHV-12, and one isolate encoded a class C β-lactamase. The blaSHV-12 gene was located in at least two different self-transferable plasmids, one of which also carried a novel class 1 integron.Keywords
