Characterization of a New blaOXA-48-Carrying Plasmid in Enterobacteriaceae

In this work, we characterized a new, 160-kb, bla(OXA-48)-harboring IncL/M-type plasmid isolated from a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain from France. Moreover, we report the transfer of a 60-kb OXA-48-encoding plasmid from Klebsiella pneumoniae to other Enterobacteriaceae in two patients.
