A bla<sub>VIM-2</sub> plasmid disseminating in extensively drug-resistant clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens isolates

We report the complete sequence and characterization of plasmid pDCPR1 harboring a bla<sub>VIM-2</sub> gene cassette in a Tn402-type class 1 integron, which was isolated from two extensively drug-resistant strains: P. aeruginosa 802 (from a burn patient at the Hospital Municipal de Quema...

Description
Summary:We report the complete sequence and characterization of plasmid pDCPR1 harboring a bla<sub>VIM-2</sub> gene cassette in a Tn402-type class 1 integron, which was isolated from two extensively drug-resistant strains: P. aeruginosa 802 (from a burn patient at the Hospital Municipal de Quemados, Argentina, 2005) and S. marcescens 68313 (Sanatorio Sagrado Corazón, Argentina, 2012).
