Complete Nucleotide Sequences of Two bla(KPC-2)-Bearing IncN Plasmids Isolated from Sequence Type 442 Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Strains Four Years Apart
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior (CAPES)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)We sequenced the oldest bla(KPC-2)-bearing plasmid isolated in Brazil and another plasmid also carried by a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain of sequence type 442 (ST442), isolated 52 months later. Both plasmids present an IncN backbone and few acquired regions. Because the 2005 plasmid presented deletions and a truncated gene within Tn4401b compared to the 2009 plasmid, we can thus infer that IncN bla(KPC-2)-bearing plasmids pFCF1305 and pFCF3SP had a common ancestor circulating in Brazil prior to May 2005.58529582960Centro de Inovacoes Tecnologicas do Instituto Evandro Chagas, SVS/MS, Ananindeua, Para, BrazilCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior (CAPES)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior (CAPES)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)FAPESP [2012/20915-0]FAPESP [2013/12107-4
