Abstract

The two plasmids extracted from Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 147 (ST147) isolates were analyzed. The first isolate was obtained from a patient transferred from United Arab Emirates to South Korea. The second isolate was obtained from a Korean patient and was suspected to be transmitted from the first patient. Sequences of two plasmids were almost the same, and genetic structures, including bla NDM-5 , of these plasmids were similar to plasmids of NDM-1-producing Escherichia coli ST131 isolates found in Europe.
