Complete sequences of KPC-2-encoding plasmid p628-KPC and CTX-M-55-encoding p628-CTXM coexisted in Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
A carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain 628 was isolated from a human case of intracranial infection in a Chinese teaching hospital. Strain 628 produces KPC-2 and CTX-M-55 encoded by two different conjugative plasmids, i.e., the IncFIIK ...

Dissemination of blaNDM-5 gene via an IncX3-type plasmid among non-clonal Escherichia coli in China [PDF]
Abstract Background The emergence and spread of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae has been a serious challenge to manage in the clinic due to its rapid dissemination of multi-drug resistance worldwide.

Emergence of IncX3 Plasmid-Harboring blaNDM–5 Dominated by Escherichia coli ST48 in a Goose Farm in Jiangsu, China [PDF]
Twelve carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli strains were obtained from goose farms in Jiangsu, China. These isolates were resistant to multiple antimicrobials, and positive for the blaNDM–5. The carbapenem-resistance of all strains mediated by blaNDM–5 were successfully conjugated to E. coli J53.

Circulation of bla KPC-3 -Carrying IncX3 Plasmids among Citrobacter freundii Isolates in an Italian Hospital [PDF]
ABSTRACT Colonizations due to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are a source of antimicrobial resistance transmission in health care settings. Eleven Citrobacter freundii strains producing KPC-3 carbapenemase were isolated from rectal swabs during a 3-year surveillance ...

Expansion of KPC-producing klebsiella pneumoniae with various mgrB-mutations giving rise to colistin-resistance:the role of ISL3 on plasmids [PDF]
BACKGROUND: mcr-1 has been reported as first plasmid gene to confer colistin-resistance. In KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-KP) isolates, however, colistin resistance is rapidly emerging through other mechanisms. This is frequently the result of

Dynamics of extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli in pig farms: A longitudinal study [PDF]
Point prevalence estimates of extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli (ESC-R-Ec) are important surveillance measures but may not uncover the ESC-R-Ec dynamics within pig farms.

Integrated chromosomal and plasmid sequence analyses reveal diverse modes of carbapenemase gene spread among Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]
Molecular and genomic surveillance systems for bacterial pathogens currently rely on tracking clonally evolving lineages. By contrast, plasmids are usually excluded or analyzed with low-resolution techniques, despite being the primary vectors of ...
