Abstract
Genes conferring simultaneous resistance to different classes of antimicrobials, confer a selective advantage to the host, particularly when those corresponding antibiotics are administered. Multiple resistance genes clustered within the same genetic locus (resistance island) can be transferred en bloc to other organisms. In this chapter we review novel multidrug resistance islands recently described in Salmonella.
