SXT/R391 integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) were detected in 8 out of 125Proteus mirabilisisolates from food-producing animals in China. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that seven ICEs were identical to ICEPmiJpn1, carrying the cephalosporinase geneblaCMY-2. Another one, designated ICEPmiChn1, carried five resistance genes. All eight ICEs could be transferred toEscherichia colivia conjugation. The results highlight the idea that animal farms are important reservoir of the SXT/R391 ICE-containingP. mirabilis.
