ABSTRACT Resistome analysis of clinical VIM-1-producing Enterobacter cloacae strain CY01 from China revealed the presence of multiple resistance determinants. Two resistance plasmids were identified in CY01. The pCY-VIM plasmid was 14 kb in size and possessed a replicase gene ( repA ), a gene cluster encoding the partitioning function ( parABC ), and a carbapenemase gene ( bla VIM-1 ). Another 5.9-kb plasmid, pCY-MdT, with an aac ( 6 ′)- Ib gene, was very closely related (13 nucleotide differences) to pMdT1, a ColE1 plasmid carrying aac ( 6 ′)- Ib-cr4 .
