A 269-kilobase conjugative plasmid, pK29, from a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain was sequenced. The plasmid harbors multiple antimicrobial resistance genes, including those encoding CMY-8 AmpC-type and CTX-M-3 extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in the common backbone of IncHI2 plasmids. Mechanisms for dissemination of the resistance genes are highlighted in comparative genomic analyses.
对一株肺炎克雷伯菌的一个269千碱基的接合质粒pK29进行了测序。该质粒含有多个抗微生物耐药基因,包括那些在IncHI2质粒的常见主干中编码CMY-8 AmpC型和CTX-M-3超广谱β-内酰胺酶的基因。比较基因组分析突出了耐药基因的传播机制。
