Complete Sequence of an IncN Plasmid, pIMP-HZ1, Carrying blaIMP-4 in a Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain Associated with Medical Travel to China

In China, IMP-4 is a major plasmid-mediated carbapenemase among multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, but little is known about the plasmid scaffolds involved in the dissemination of bla IMP-4 ([1][1], [2][2]). In 2010, we identified a Klebsiella pneumoniae CRE1 strain carrying bla IMP-4 from the
