Abstract: OBJECTIVES We sequenced two IncA/C plasmids harbouring blaCTX-M-2 in Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates and compared their antibiotic resistance islands. METHODS Transconjugants were obtained from two clinical K. pneumoniae isolates harbouring blaCTX-M-2. Plasmid DNA from transconjugants… read more here.
