Extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (TEM-52)-producing strains of Salmonella enterica of various serotypes isolated in France

J Clin Microbiol. 2004 Jul;42(7):3359-62. doi: 10.1128/JCM.42.7.3359-3362.2004.

Abstract

From 2002 to 2003, four isolates of Salmonella enterica serotypes Typhimurium, Enteritidis, Blockley, and Panama, isolated in France from patients with gastroenteritis, were found to produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamase TEM-52. The study showed the bla(TEM-52) gene to be located in a Tn3-like structure and carried by 100- or 32-kb conjugative plasmids.
