The study identified quaternary ammonium compound resistance genes, including mdfA, ydgE/ydgF, qacE, qacEΔ1, emrE, sugE(c), sugE(p), and qacH, in foodborne Proteus mirabilis isolates. It also discovered non-classic class 1 integrons carrying the gene structure qacH-IS440-sul3, which were located on conjugative plasmids, facilitating the co-dissemination of antimicrobial and disinfectant resistance genes.
