Plasmid transfer plays an important role in the interspecies spread of carbapenemase genes, including the Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-coding gene, bla KPC . We conducted whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis and transmission experiments to analyze bla KPC-2 -carrying mobile genetic elements (MGEs) between the bla KPC-2 -harboring K. pneumoniae , Citrobacter europaeus , and Morganella morganii strains isolated from a single patient. bla KPC-2 was contained within an MGE, Tn 4401a .
