Abstract excerpt
mutants identified in ST101 were on FIIk-FIA(HI1)-R plasmids. Selection also promoted multiplication of the carbapenemase gene copy number by transposition, recombination, and fusion of resident plasmids. When expressed in Escherichia coli recipient cells cloned in the high-copy-number pTOPO vector, the Ω loop mutated variants showed the CZA-resistant phenotype associated with susceptibility to carbapenems, while...
