Complete Genome Sequences of Two Novel KPC-2-Producing IncU Multidrug-Resistant Plasmids From International High-Risk Clones of Escherichia coli in China

Complete Genome Sequences of Two Novel KPC-2-Producing IncU Multidrug-Resistant Plasmids From International High-Risk Clones of Escherichia coli in China

The rapidly increasing prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase 2 (KPC-2)-producing bacteria has become a serious challenge to public health. Currently, the blaKPC–2 gene is mainly disseminated through plasmids of different sizes and replicon types. However, the plasmids carrying the blaKPC...
