Recombination of plasmids in a carbapenem-resistant NDM-5-producing clinical Escherichia coli isolate
28 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
Objectives: To investigate the genetic features of five plasmids recovered from an NDM-5-producing clinical Escherichia coli strain, BJ114, and to characterize the plasmid recombination event that occurred during the conjugation process. Methods: The genetic profiles of the five plasmids were determined by PCR, conjugation, S1-PFGE, Southern hybridization and WGS analysis. Plasmid sequences were analysed with...
