Genomic data reveals the emergence of an IncQ1 small plasmid carrying blaKPC-2 in Escherichia coli of the pandemic sequence type 648

Objectives: The global success of carbapenem-resistant pathogens has been attributed to large plasmids carrying blaKPC genes circulating among high-risk clones. In this study, we sequenced the genome of a carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli strain (Ec351) isolated from a human infection. Phylogeno...
