Prevalence and Characteristics of Plasmid-Mediated Fosfomycin Resistance Gene <i>fosA3</i> among <i>Salmonella</i> Enteritidis Isolates from Retail Chickens and Children with Gastroenteritis in China.

ABSTRACT: A total of 265 Salmonella Enteritidis isolates collected from retail markets and children's hospitals in Shanghai were used to investigate the prevalence and molecular epidemiology of plasmid-mediated fosfomycin resistance genes. Nine of the isolates-7 from the 146 (4.79%) retail chicken-related samples and 2 from the 119 (1.68%) samples from clinical children-were fosfomycin-resistant (Fos^R). The fosA3 gene was detected in all of the nine Fos^R isolates, which were located on Inc F-type (8/9, 88.9%) and unknown-type (1/9, 11.1%) transferable plasmids. In total, five plasmid types, namely Inc HI2 (1/9, 11.1%), Inc I1 (3/9, 33.3%), Inc X (8/9, 88.9%), Inc FIIs (9/9, 100%), and Inc FIB (9/9, 100%), were detected in these Fos^R isolates, which poss
