Abstract

Two Escherichia coli isolates resistant to trimethoprim but negative for integrons carried two new resistance genes, dfrA24 and dfrA26, remotely similar to one another and to the cassette-independent genes dfrA8 and dfrA9. The dfrA24 gene was not associated with known mobile elements, while dfrA26 was associated with the CR1 common region.
