Identified a hybrid SXT element (ICEVchCHN1307), a new IncA/C plasmid (pVC1307) and a chromosome integron (CI).
Provided their complete nucleotide sequence and clearly demonstrated their roles in antibiotic resistance.
Powerful accumulation of drug resistance genes in Vibrio cholerae.
More attention to the risk of spreading multiple drug resistances mediated by SXT and the IncA/C plasmid is required.
