Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of pKP1433 (55,417 bp), a blaKPC-2- carrying plasmid from Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 340, was determined. pKP1433 displayed extensive sequence and structural similarities with the IncN plasmids possessing the KPC- 2-encoding Tn4401b isoform. However, the replication, partitioning, and stability of pKP1433 were determined by sequences related to diverse non-IncN plasmids. Copyright © 2013, American Society for Microbiology.
