A ceftazidime-resistant Providencia stuartii isolate from Algeria harbored a ca. 160-kb conjugative plasmid that contained a truncated blaVEB-1b gene flanked by three 135-bp repeated elements. This work gives further evidence of the worldwide spread of blaVEB genes that are associated with genetic structures other than class 1 integrons.
