Genomic Insight of VIM-harboring IncA Plasmid from a Clinical ST69 <i>Escherichia coli</i> Strain in Italy

<i>Background</i>: VIM (Verona Integron-encoded Metallo-beta-lactamase) is a member of the Metallo-Beta-Lactamases (MBLs), and is able to hydrolyze all beta-lactams antibiotics, except for monobactams, and including carbapenems. Here we characterize a VIM-producing IncA plasmid isolated...
