Linear map of the transposon Tn1999.3 carried by ECBZ-1, compared with the other Tn1999 variants. Small arrows show primer positions. Primers used to characterize Tn1999.3 were OXA-48A and OXA-48B (14), IS1999 (5′-TGATGTTGTGCTTGGTTCGG-3′), LysR_Rev (5′-GCTAGTGCCAATCTTACAGG-3′), Tir_1 (5′-GCCCAACAGTAAACCCAGC-3′), and Tir_2 (5′-AGTTTATGCTGGTTCTGCTGG-3′). The putative composite transposon formed by the two IS1R insertion sequences, carrying blaOXA-48, is underlined.
