Characterization of a new blaOXA-48-carrying plasmid in Enterobacteriaceae.

ABSTRACT: In this work, we characterized a new, 160-kb, blaOXA-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.
