Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine and compare the complete nucleotide sequences of plasmids carrying blaCTX-M-15 from three different Klebsiella pneumoniae clones. METHODS: IncFII-type plasmids pKP02022, pKP09085 and pKP007 were extracted from three K. pneumoniae strains. These strains belong to sequence types (STs) ST15, ST48 and ST23, respectively, and were isolated in Korea. Plasmids were sequenced using the 454 Genome...
