Abstract

A VIM-1-producing ST92 Enterobacter cloacae was isolated in a Czech hospital. bla <subscript>VIM-1</subscript> was part of the class 1 integron In110 carried by a Tn1721-like transposon. Tn1721-like was located on a ColE1-like plasmid, pEncl-30969cz (33,003 bp). Target site duplications at the boundaries of Tn1721-like suggested its transposition into the pEncl-30969cz backbone.<br /> (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
