The IncC plasmid pB2-1, from a Kiebsiella pneumoniae isolate recovered in Brisbane prior to 1995, belongs to a subtype of type 1 IncC plasmids, here designated type la, that includes those carrying carbapenem resistance genes such as bla(NDM) and bla(KPC). pB2-1 carries a 2358 bp deletion in the rhs1 gene found in four other type la IncC plasmids. pB2-1 confers resistance to ampicillin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, tobramycin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline and trimethoprim. It transferred at a frequency of 4.7 x 10(-3) transconjugants per donor, similar to that of another type la plasmid pDGO100 but ten-fold lower than for its closest relative pRMH760. This difference may be due to a single amino acid substitution in TraL. pB2-1 has an ISEc52 insertion in the dsbC gene, demonstrating that dsbC is not essential for transfer. pB2-1 lacks the ARI-B insertion and hence the sul2 gene. The resistance genes sell, dfrA10, aphA1a, bla(TEM), aadB, and tetA(B) are all in the ARI-A island, in a configuration that has evolved from ARI-A of pRMH760 in two steps. A 10.3 kb segment extending from the catA1 gene to the end of pDUmer module was lost via homologous recombination between two copies of IS4321. In addition, a 5.3 kb segment extending from IS1326 to the left end of Tn4352B was replaced with an 18.7 kb tet (B)-containing segment bounded on one end by IS1 and on the other by IS26. The IS26-bounded transposon Tn4352B was shown to be stable in K. pneumoniae in contrast to the high instability observed in E. coli.
