ABSTRACTWe have determined the DNA sequence ofKlebsiella pneumoniaemultidrug resistance plasmid pKPI-6, which is a self-transmissible IncN-type plasmid. pKPI-6 harboringblaIMP-6andblaCTX-M-2confers a stealth-type carbapenem resistance phenotype on members of the familyEnterobacteriaceaethat is not detectable with imipenem. pKPI-6 is already epidemic in Japan, favoring the dissemination of IMP-6 and CTX-M-2 in members of the familyEnterobacteriaceae.

ABSTRACT We reported the complete nucleotide sequence of a tet(X4)-carrying plasmid, pSTB20-1T, from a tigecycline-resistant Escherichia coli isolate in China. Sequence analysis indicated that pSTB20-1T contains a hybrid plasmid backbone and a tet(X4)-containing multidrug resistance region, likely originated through recombination of multiple plasmids. tet(X4) was flanked by two ISCR2, which may be responsible for tet(X4) mobilization. The occurrence and transmission of this novel hybrid plasmid may exacerbate the spread of the clinically significant tet(X4) gene.

ABSTRACTWe report here the complete nucleotide sequence of two IncR replicons encoding multidrug resistance determinants, including β-lactam (blaDHA-1,blaSHV-12), aminoglycoside (aphA1,strA,strB), and fluoroquinolone (qnrB4,aac6′-1b-cr) resistance genes. The plasmids have backbones that are similar to each other, including the replication and stability systems, and contain a wide variety of transposable elements carrying known antibiotic resistance genes. This study confirms the increasing clinical importance of IncR replicons as resistance gene carriers.

ABSTRACT We have determined the entire DNA sequence of plasmid pKpQIL, the bla KPC-3-carrying plasmid harbored by the carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clone sequence type 258 (ST 258) in Israel. pKpQIL is a 113,637-bp, self-transmissible plasmid that belongs to the incompatibility group IncFII. It consists of a large backbone of a pKPN4-like plasmid and carries the bla KPC-3-containing Tn4401a transposon of a pNYC-like plasmid.

ABSTRACT In this work we report the characterization of plasmid pCTX-M360, isolated from a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain from China and encoding the CTX-M-3 extended-spectrum β-lactamase. Sequence analysis of pCTX-M360 revealed extensive similarity with pEL60 and pCTX-M3, two other enterobacterial plasmids of the IncL/M incompatibility group. Compared to pEL60, pCTX-M360 contains several insertions but lacks most of a 27-kb insert found in pCTX-M3, suggesting that it could be an evolutionary intermediate between pEL60 and pCTX-M3.

ABSTRACT Using Nanopore sequencing, we describe here the circular genome of an Escherichia coli sequence type 410 (ST410) strain with five closed plasmids. A large 111-kb incompatibility group F (IncF) plasmid harbored bla NDM-5 and 16 other resistance genes. A 51-kb IncX3 plasmid carried QnrS1 and bla OXA-181 . E. coli isolates with both bla NDM-5 and bla OXA-181 carbapenemases are rare.

ABSTRACTHorizontal transfer ofblaKPC-harboring plasmids contributes significantly to the inter- and intraspecies spread ofKlebsiella pneumoniaecarbapenemase (KPC). Here we report the complete nucleotide sequence of ablaKPC-harboring IncFIA plasmid, pBK32533, fromEscherichia coli. pBK32533 is a cointegrate plasmid comprising of a 72-kb sequence identical to that of the nonconjugative pBK30661 plasmid plus an additional 170-kb element that harbors the genes for plasmid transfer. pBK32533 demonstrates howblaKPCcan be spread from a nonconjugative plasmid through cointegration.

ABSTRACTWe report the complete nucleotide sequence of the pKpS90 plasmid, carrying theblaKPC-2andblaSHV-12genes. This plasmid was isolated from a sequence type 258 (ST258)Klebsiella pneumoniaestrain responsible for an outbreak in a French university hospital in 2009. pKpS90 is a 53,286-bp plasmid that belongs to the IncX incompatibility group. pKpS90 consists of a backbone from IncX plasmids, in which the KPC-2-encoding Tn4401transposon and ablaSHV-12-encoding region have been inserted.
