Plasmid analysis based on short- and long-read sequence data of blaCMY-2 containing IncI1-pST12 plasmids from the included isolates revealed a low number of SNP differences and a high number of shared genes between the various plasmids extracted. Despite the tendency of median SNP increase from epidemiologically related to unrelated plasmids, the range in number of SNPs detected overlapped between every classified epidemiological link in the current study. A small SNP difference was seen between epidemiologically related strains with 6
