Here we report the complete nucleotide sequence of a 49.257-bp IncL/M conjugative plasmid (pRAY) carrying the blaOXA-48 gene collected from a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical strain isolated in Italy. The genetic environment of pRAY plasmid revealed that the blaOXA-48 gene was located within a Tn1999.2 transposon. The pRAY plasmid differed from blaOXA-48-harboring IncL/M plasmids by genetic context and size. Comparative analysis demonstrated that pRAY plasmid lacked a region of ~15 kb carrying genes encoding proteins involved in pilus assembly and plasmid conjugative apparatus.

Abstract
Here we report the complete nucleotide sequence of a 49.257-bp IncL/M conjugative plasmid (pRAY) carrying the blaOXA-48 gene collected from a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical strain isolated in Italy. The genetic environment of pRAY plasmid revealed that the blaOXA-48 gene was located within a Tn1999.2 transposon. The pRAY plasmid differed from blaOXA-48-harboring IncL/M plasmids by genetic context and size. Comparative analysis demonstrated that pRAY plasmid lacked a region of ~15 kb carrying genes encoding proteins involved in pilus assembly and plasmid conjugative apparatus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
