The presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) encoding plasmids in bacteria contributes towards rising resistance rates, mortality and healthcare costs in clinical settings. An EBSL-encoding plasmid, pESBL-PH was identified during a nosocomial outbreak of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST628 at a United Kingdom general district hospital in 2018.
