Figure 3

Comparative analysis of the blaKPC-3–harboring plasmid pCG2111_KPC3 (GenBank accession no. CP081510), pFK3112_KPC3 (GenBank accession no. CP081509), p15WZ-82-KPC, and Klebsiella pneumoniae p13190 in isolates from an outbreak of KPC 3–producing Enterobacterales infection at a tertiary hospital in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China, August 1, 2020–June 30, 2021. Open reading frames are portrayed by arrows and are depicted in different colors on the basis of their predicted gene functions. Red arrows indicate resistance genes, and green arrows indicate genes associated with the type IV secretion system. Orange arrows represent the backbone genes of the plasmid, and yellow arrows denote the mobile elements. Light blue shading denotes shared regions of homology among different plasmids. KPC, K. pneumoniae carbapenemase.
