Abstract excerpt
strains. Our study described the cooccurrence of KPC-2, a serine β-lactamase, and IMP-4, a metallo-β-lactamase (MBL), on a conjugative hybrid plasmid from a clinical carbapenem-resistant K. quasipneumoniae strain, and it revealed an alternative route for IncHI5 plasmid to evolve by recombining with other plasmids to form a hybrid plasmid. Moreover, this hybrid plasmid can be transferred into other Klebsiella...
