The carbapenem resistance gene bla OXA-23 is disseminated by a conjugative plasmid containing the novel transposon Tn6681 in Acinetobacter johnsonii M19

Abstract Background Carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter species have caused great difficulties in clinical therapy in the worldwide. Here we describe an Acinetobacter johnsonii M19 with a novel bla OXA-23 containing transposon Tn6681 on the conjugative plasmid pFM-M19 and the ability to transferand c...
