摘要: Completed sequences of three plasmids from a carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate, SH9, were obtained. In addition to the pLVPK-like virulence-conferring plasmid (pVir-CR-HvKP_SH9), two multidrug-resistant (pKPC-CR-HvKP4_SH9 and pCTX-M-CR-HvKP4_SH9) predicted originate single pKPC-CR-HvKP4-like multireplicon through homologous recombination. Interestingly, blaKPC-2 gene was detectable in five tandem repeats exhibiting format an NTEKPC-Id-like transposon (IS26-ΔTn3-ISKpn8-blaKPC-2-ΔISKpn6-korC-orf-IS26). The data suggest important role DNA recombination mediating active evolution.
