IS Ecp1 -Mediated Transposition and Homologous Recombination Can Explain the Context of bla CTX-M-62 Linked to qnrB2

Abstract
bla CTX-M-62 , a C508T variant of bla CTX-M-3b , was transferred from Klebsiella pneumoniae JIE137 on a conjugative plasmid together with a class 1 integron containing the dfrA12 - gcuF - aadA2 cassette array, IS CR1 , and qnrB2 . bla CTX-M-62 lies between intact and rearranged copies of IS Ecp1 in a configuration that can be explained by a combination of transposition and homologous recombination and which also illustrates the ability of IS Ecp1 to mobilize an adjacent gene as part of transposition units of different sizes.
