The blaVIM-2-carrying In58 integron has been linked to a chromosomal location in different bacterial species, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This work reports the first fully sequenced In58-harboring plasmid, which is significantly different from the two previously identified blaVIM-2-carrying pl...
