Abstract
We identified an erm42 -carrying integrative and conjugative element, ICE_erm42, in 26.4% of multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Albany isolates recovered from cases of human salmonellosis between 2014 and 2019 in Taiwan. ICE_erm42-carrying strains displayed high-level resistance to azithromycin, and the element could move into the phylogenetically distant species Vibrio cholerae via conjugation.
