IS 1R -Mediated Plasticity of IncL/M Plasmids Leads to the Insertion of bla OXA-48 into the Escherichia coli Chromosome

Abstract: The OXA-48 carbapenemase is mainly encoded by ϳ62-kb IncL/M plasmids. However, chromosome-mediated genes have been observed in Escherichia coli isolates. In this work, we investigated the genetic environment of OXA-48 in members of the family Enterobacteriaceae

“…The genetic structure of bla OXA‐48 in L/M plasmids is different from that of other carbapenemases. This gene is usually part of Tn 1999 (Tn 1999 –Tn 1991.4 ), with Tn 1991.2 being the most prevalent . In 2016, Cuzon and colleagues reported an L/M plasmid carrying GES‐5 and GES‐6 on the same plasmid (Table ).…”

“…Plasmids act as the scaffolds upon which arrays of antibiotic resistance genes are assembled, generating multiple-drug-resistant phenotypes in Enterobacteriaceae. However, only a limited number of CRE have been found to carry carbapenemase genes on their chromosomes (3)(4)(5)(6). Notably, only two strains of Escherichia coli have been reported to carry chromosomally integrated bla NDM-1 in China and India (7,8).…”

“…However, due to the emergence of carbapenem resistance, the antimicrobial activity of these drugs is no longer effective (2). Production of carbapenemases is one of the main mechanisms for carbapenem resistance (3).…”
