Abstract: The bla <subscript>PER-2</subscript> -harboring plasmid pCf587 (191,541 bp) belongs to lineage IncA/C <subscript>1</subscript> and is closely related to pRA1. It contains a large resistance island including the bla <subscript>PER-2</subscript> gene between two copies of IS Kox2 -like elements, the toxin-antitoxin module pemK-pemI , several other resistance genes inserted within a Tn 2 transposon, a Tn 21 -like structure, and a class 1 integron. pCf587 belongs to sequence type 13 (ST13), a new plasmid multilocus sequence typing (pMLST) ST.<br /> (Copyright © 2018 American Society for Microbiology.)
