Example bacterial isolates examined for presence of Class 1 integrons, Inc A/C plasmid markers and a range of resistance genes by miniaturised microarray and PCR.

Table 1 Footnotes.
aIsolates were identified to provisional species complexes based on partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing and API20NE results.
bIdentity also confirmed based on partial gyrA and gyrB sequencing.
