Sequence structure of 2 β-lactamase OXA-232 (blaOXA-232 ) plasmids tested during phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Enterobacteriaceae producing OXA-48–like carbapenemases, United States. Top plasmid is from isolate 11 in this study (pColKP3_DHQP1300920) (6139 bp), and bottom plasmid is from Potron et al. (43) (GenBank accession no. JX423831). Arrows indicate direction of transcription. Red arrows indicate other genes. OXA, oxacillinase; repA, COLe type replicase.
