Sequence of Closely Related Plasmids Encoding blaNDM-1 in Two Unrelated Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in Singapore
6 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Spread of the bla(NDM-1) gene that encodes the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) in Enterobacteriaceae is a major global health problem. Plasmids carrying bla(NDM-1) from two different multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumonia isolates collected in Singapore were completely sequenced and compared to known plasmids carrying bla(NDM-1). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The two plasmids, pTR3 and...
