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