Detection of a New Resistance-Mediating Plasmid Chimera in a <i>bla</i><sub>OXA-48</sub>-Positive <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Strain at a German University Hospital

Mobile genetic elements, such as plasmids, facilitate the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in Enterobacterales. In line with this, we investigated the plasmid-resistome of seven <i>bla</i><sub>OXA-48</sub> gene-carrying <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> isolates,...
