In Silico Detection and Typing of Plasmids using PlasmidFinder and Plasmid Multilocus Sequence Typing [PDF]
In the work presented here, we designed and developed two easy-to-use Web tools for in silico detection and characterization of whole-genome sequence (WGS) and whole-plasmid sequence data from members of the family Enterobacteriaceae.

Complete Sequence of the IncT-Type Plasmid pT-OXA-181 Carrying the bla OXA-181 Carbapenemase Gene from Citrobacter freundii [PDF]
ABSTRACT The gene encoding the carbapenemase OXA-181 (an OXA-48 variant) was identified from a Citrobacter freundii isolate coproducing NDM-1. The whole sequence of plasmid pT-OXA-181 bearing the bla OXA-181 gene was determined and revealed a 84-kb mobilizable but non ...
