Volume 41, no. 5, p. 1919-1924. In our paper, we described the characterization of a gene cassette-encoding region from a class 1 integron of Shigella sonnei isolate 1778 and identified a variable cassette region encoding sat-aadA genes. With reference to the letter of Partridge and Hall (J. Clin. Microbiol. 43:4298-4300, 2005), we have revised our sequence data and acknowledge that the sequence we originally identified as sat should be designated estX. Our GenBank entry (accession no. AY090896) has been modified accordingly.
