Complete Sequence of bla _KPC-2 -Harboring Plasmid with a Mosaic of IncN1- and IncN3-Type Plasmids in a Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolate from South Korea

Transmission of Nonconjugative Virulence or Resistance Plasmids Mediated by a Self-Transferable IncN3 Plasmid from Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

“…It was also reported to probably facilitate the mobilization of the nonconjugative resistance plasmid pR16.0676_90k in Salmonella ( 28 ). In addition, a mosaic bla KPC-2 -harboring plasmid might have emerged via the incorporation of Tn 4401 by an IncN1-type replicon and an IncN3-type tra system ( 29 ). Collectively, these findings indicate that the IncN3 plasmid might have a powerful ability to transfer various nonconjugative plasmids or mobile elements across different species in Enterobacteriaceae .…”

Genotypic and Phenotypic Characterization of Clinical Escherichia coli Sequence Type 405 Carrying IncN2 Plasmid Harboring blaNDM-1

“…The 86 IncN plasmids carrying carbapenemases downloaded from the NCBI database were sub-grouped into three types according to their replication genes: IncN1 ( n = 74), IncN2 ( n = 8), and IncN3 ( n = 4) (Supplementary Table S1; Kim et al, 2016). Multiple carbapenemases were detected in these plasmids including IMP, VIM, NDM, KPC, and OXA.…”

Detection of clinical Serratia marcescens isolates carrying blaKPC-2 in a hospital in China

“…Silva et al also recovered S. marcescens producing both KPC-2 and IMP-10 at a Brazilian teaching hospital [ 13 ]. Moreover, it has been identified to be harbored on multiple plasmids: IncR, IncP6, IncQ1, IncFII, IncL/M, IncN1, IncA, IncK, IncC, ColRNAI, IncX3 and IncX6 [ [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] ]. Among these types of plasmids found in S. marcescens are specifically the ones belonging to the groups of both IncK and IncX6 [ 19 , 20 ].…”
