Plasmidome analyses of Klebsiella pneumoniae co-producing blaKPC-2 and blaNDM-1 in Southern Brazil: characterisation of mobile genetic elements
Plasmid and transposon changes during different periods could be related to higher dissemination of bla<sub>NDM-1</sub>, and the large number of resistance genes present in the IS26-flanked transposon may have increased co-selection of this plasmid through the wide use of antimicrobials during the pandemic.
