Abstract

The two plasmids extracted from Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 147 (ST147) isolates were analyzed. The first isolate was obtained from a patient transferred from United Arab Emirates to South Korea. The second isolate was obtained from a Korean patient and was suspected to be transmitted from the first patient. Sequences of two plasmids were almost the same, and genetic structures, including blaNDM-5, of these plasmids were similar to plasmids of NDM-1-producing Escherichia coli ST131 isolates found in Europe.

Comparison of the major structural features of pCC1409-1 and pCC1410-1 with those of IncFII-type plasmids pGUE-NDM (GenBank accession no. JQ364967.1) and pMC-NDM (GenBank accession no. HG003695.1). White boxes indicate plasmid scaffold regions that are common among the plasmids. The tra loci are indicated within the white boxes by capital letters. Resistance genes are indicated by gray boxes, and transposon-related genes, integrase, and insertion sequences are indicated by diagonally lined boxes. Replicase genes are indicated by dots, and addiction system genes are indicated in black. Light gray shading denotes regions of homology, and arrows indicate blaNDM-type genes.
