A gene identical to plasmid-borne bla_CTX-M-3 is present in the chromosome of one Kluyvera ascorbata strain. It is associated with a structure including an inverted repeat right and an open reading frame 477-like gene probably involved in the mobilization of bla_CTX-M-3. Two other K. ascorbata strains rendered the previously described bla_KLUA-9 gene.
