Complete Sequence of a blaOXA-48-Harboring IncL Plasmid from an Enterobacter cloacae Clinical Isolate

Free PMC Article: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4574381/We report a 63,584-bp conjugative IncL plasmid (pUR17313-1) from an Enterobacter cloacae clinical isolate, containing a blaOXA-48 gene. The plasmid sequence also carried important mobile genetic elements involved in the spread of antibiotic resistance, namely, the Tn1999.2 composite transposon, which enclosed blaOXA-48-, integrase-, and transposase-encoding genes.V.M. was supported by grant number SFRH/BPD/77486/2011 from Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, Lisbon, Portugal.
