Abstract

We report here the dissemination of a conjugative IncI1 plasmid carrying bla(TEM-52) on a Tn3 transposon conferring resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins in Salmonella enterica serovar Agona, Derby, Infantis, Paratyphi B dT(+), and Typhimurium isolates from poultry and humans in Belgium and France from 2001 to 2005. The most prevalent serovar spreading this resistance was serovar Infantis.
