Abstract

Three variants of the multidrug-resistant plasmid pLUH01 were assembled by deep sequencing from nasopharyngeal swabs. All have a 21-bp deletion in the RS14515 hypothetical gene. Variants 1 through 3 have 2, 6, and 3 nucleotide substitutions, respectively, compared to the pLUH01 reference genome. We named the new plasmid variants pLUH01/Lancaster/2015/1 to pLUH01/Lancaster/2015/3.
