Sequence of pR3521, an IncB plasmid from Escherichia coli encoding ACC-4, SCO-1, and TEM-1 beta-lactamases.

ABSTRACT: The sequence of pR3521, a self-transmissible plasmid from Escherichia coli, was determined. pR3521 (110,416 bp) comprised a contiguous IncB sequence (84,034 bp) sharing extensive similarities with IncI replicons and an acquired region (26,382 bp) carrying sequences of diverse origin, containing bla(ACC-4), bla(SCO-1), bla(TEM-1b) (two copies), strA, strB, sul2, and aacC2.
