blaNDM-5-Bearing IncFII-Type Plasmids of Klebsiella pneumoniae Sequence Type 147 Transmitted by Cross-Border Transfer of a Patient

摘要

The two plasmids extracted from Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 147 (ST147) isolates were analyzed. The first isolate was obtained from a patient transferred from United Arab Emirates to South Korea. The second isolate was obtained from a Korean patient and was suspected to be transmitted from the first patient. Sequences of two plasmids were almost the same, and genetic structures, including blaNDM-5, of these plasmids were similar to plasmids of NDM-1-producing Escherichia coli ST131 isolates found in Europe.
