Fig. 3From: First report of Klebsiella quasipneumoniae harboring blaKPC-2 in Saudi ArabiaSchematic of gene arrangements of the blaKPC-2 flanked by Tn3-based transposon in plasmids across different species. IS481 and IS1182 family of genes harboring transposase and resolvase genes and insertion sequences, i.e., ISKpn6, and ISKpn27 in 5 plasmids compared to the pKPC-421 of K. quasipneumoniae. This fragment has been previously identified in various plasmids in several Gram-negative species from China. The cassette of SKpn6-blaKPC-2-ISKpn27 can be found in similar IncX6 plasmids (included in Fig. 2) as well as multiple types of plasmids across various bacterial speciesBack to article page
