Schaalia turicensis
is facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus that commonly inhabits the oropharynx, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tract of healthy individuals. This organism has been co-isolated with
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
from 15-year-old Thai male patient with gonococcal urethritis in Bangkok, Thailand. In this study, we characterized the class 1 integron in
S. turicensis
isolate using whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Sequencing analysis confirmed the presence of an imperfect class 1 integron located on chromosome and a novel 24.5-kb-long composite transposon, named Tn
7083
. The transposon Tn
7083
carried genes encoding chloramphenicol resistance (
cmx
), sulfonamide resistance (
sul1
), and aminoglycoside resistance [
