In Silico Typing and Comparative Genomic Analysis of IncFII K Plasmids and Insights into the Evolution of Replicons, Plasmid Backbones, and Resistance Determinant Profiles

Abstract excerpt

IncFII K plasmids are associated with the acquisition and dissemination of multiple-antimicrobial resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae and often encountered in clinical isolates of this species. Since the phylogeny and evolution of IncFII K plasmids remain unclear, here we performed large-scale in silico typing and comparative analysis of these plasmids in publicly available bacterial/plasmid genomes.
