Abstract

A 25,441-bp transposon was recovered from a Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolate. While the transposition module was >99% identical to sequence of Tn 1403 , the element had been subject to rearrangements, with two In70.2-like class 1 integrons inserted into it in an unusual “tail-to-tail” configuration. One cassette array was the same as that in In70.2; however, the second was different, generating a transposon that collectively includes six resistance cassettes.
