Sxt element, class 1 integron and multidrug-resistance genes of vibrio cholerae isolated from clinical and environmental sources in northeast thailand.

This study indicates that SXT element was the main contributor to the circulation of multiple-drug resistance determinants in V. cholerae strains in Northeast Thailand and that genetic exchange of SXT element can occur in both V. cholerae O1 and non-O1/non-O139 strains from clinical and environmental sources.
