dc.description.abstractObjectives: The main objective of this study was the genetic characterization of clinically relevant class 1 integrons carried by multidrug resistant bacteria isolated from the intestinal microbiota of aquaculture salmon treated with high concentrations of antibiotics. Methods: In 82 multidrug resistant bacterial isolates, the prevalence of both the conserved elements of the integrons, qacEΔ1 and sul1 genes, and the variable region (VR) was determined. Further, whole genome sequencing and complete genetic analysis was performed in VR-positive isolates. Results: Despite the fact that 100% of the bacterial isolates presented the intI1 gene, only 12.3% carried the qacEΔ1 and sul1 genes and only two (2.4%) presented a VR with gene cassettes. In the Pseudomonas baetica 25P2F9 isolate, a VR carrying aac(6')31, qacH, and blaOXA-2 gene cassettes was described, whereas the VR of Aeromonas salmonicida 30PB8 isolate showed a dfrA14 gene cassette. The array of gene cassettes found in the Pseudomonas isolate appears with high frequency in clinically relevant pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Escherichia coli. Additionally, it was possible to determine that these integrons are contained in plasmids and coul be easily transferred. Resistome analysis demonstrated that both isolates carried a great diversity of antibiotic resistance genes, including many β-lactamases. Even in the Aeromonas isolate a new oxacillin-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase gene was described (blaOXA-956). Conclusion: The presence of multidrug resistant bacteria and clinically relevant genetic elements in the salmon intestinal microbiota make the aquaculture a hotspot in the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance; therefore, the control of antibiotics used in this activity is a key point to avoid its escalation.
