Abstract
We describe Tn7563, a 31,844-bp integrative and conjugative element (ICE) carrying promoters upregulating the cfiA carbapenemase gene in Bacteroides fragilis strain Tbg-22. Excision and circularization of Tn7563 was demonstrated by PCR. Previously, only insertion sequences (IS) have been shown to carry mobile promoters for cfiA.
