In the original article, the legends for Figures 2, 3 were reversed. The correct legend appears below.
Figure 2. Comparison of the genetic elements surrounding the blaNDM−1 and blaIMP−8 genes identified in this study. Reference sequences: A. lwoffii (pNDM-BJ01, GenBank accession no. JQ001791), K. pneumoniae (pKP1-NDM-1, GenBank accession no. KF992018 and pCR38-KP-NDM-1, GenBank accession no. KP826710), and E. cloacae (pECL3-NDM-1, GenBank accession no. KC887917).
Figure 3. Dendrogram analysis of DiversiLab Rep-PCR fingerprint of carbapenemase-producing E. cloacae isolates. A genetic similarity index scale is shown in the left of the dendrogram. Isolate number, collection data, resistance determinants, MLST, and plasmid type. CBP, carbapenemase; ESBLs, extended-spectrum β-lactamase; PBRT, PCR-based replicon typing.
In addition, the GenBank accession number for Klebsiella oxytoca plasmids pFP10-2 was incorrectly written as KF732966. The correct number is HQ651093 and a correction has been made to Results, Characterization of the Genetic Environment of NDM-1 and IMP-8, Paragraph 2.
For IMP-8, the genetic structure identified from CR-ECL86 was similar to the one previously reported in Klebsiella oxytoca plasmids pFP10-2 (GenBank Accession No. HQ651093) from China. The blaIMP−8 gene in CR-ECL86 was preceded by a recombination site (attI1) and followed by an aminoglycoside acetyltransferase gene (aacA4) and a truncated transposase gene (ΔtniC). A class 1 integron (Intl1), located upstream of the blaIMP−8 gene in this isolate, was truncated due to the insertion of IS26. Compared to pFP10-2, the IS26 insertion in CR-ECL86 shared identical gene cassettes except for the missing left-inverted repeat sequence (LRR) in the 5'-conserved region (Figure 2).
