摘要：

Class 2 integrons (Tn7) were found in all randomly selected epidemic (n = 27) and preepidemic (n = 13) strains of multiresistant Shigella sonnei biotype g. A class 1 integron was also found in two epidemic strains. Gene cassettes within these integrons account for resistance to commonly used therapeutic agents.
