The objective of this study was to determine the biological cost, stability and sequence of two carbapenemase-encoding plasmids containing bla KPC-2 (pG12-KPC-2) and bla VIM-1 (pG06-VIM-1) isolated from Klebsiella pneumoniae when newly acquired by uropathogenic Escherichia coli clinical isolates of different genetic backgrounds.
