Abstrakt: Schaalia turicensis is facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus that commonly inhabits the oropharynx, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tract of healthy individuals. This organism has been co-isolated with Neisseria gonorrhoeae from 15-year-old Thai male patient with gonococcal urethritis in Bangkok, Thailand. In this study, we characterized the class 1 integron in S. turicensis isolate using whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Sequencing analysis confirmed the presence of an imperfect class 1 integron located on chromosome and a novel 24.5-kb-long composite transposon, named Tn7083. The transposon Tn7083 carried genes encoding chloramphenicol resistance (cmx), sulfonamide resistance (sul1), and aminoglycoside resistance [aph(6)-Id (strB), aph(3ʹʹ)-Ib (strA), aph(3ʹ)-Ia].
