The sequence of pTN48, a plasmid of the FII-FIB replicon type that encodes a CTX-M-14 enzyme in an Escherichia coli strain of the phylogenetic group D? O102-ST405 clone, was determined. pTN48 is, for the most part, a mosaic of virulence, antibiotic resistance, and addiction system modules found in various other plasmids. The presence of multiple addiction systems indicates that the plasmid should be stably maintained in the E. coli clone, favoring dissemination of the CTX-M-14 enzyme.
