A total of 46 gram‐positive bacteria isolated from clinical specimens collected in China were subjected to PCR analysis with the intI1‐specific primers, and the intI1‐positive strains were further analyzed for their resistance gene cassette. All isolates possessed the class 1 integron in their genomes and the array of gene cassettes was dhfrXII‐orfF‐aadA2, which is very similar to other organisms except in one isolate carrying an additional copy of the class 1 integron containing the aadA2 gene cassette. Altogether, the results indicate that the class 1 integron is widespread in gram‐positive clinical strains isolated in Guangzhou, China.
