a Additional countries: Italy (n = 4) and Switzerland (n = 14).
The total number of isolates per country and the number of plasmids in the reference panel from countries in our study, as well as Italy and Switzerland, are indicated. The number of isolates harbouring an IncI1 replicon identified with PlasmidFinder are given, with the percentage with respect to the total number of isolates given in parenthesis. The distribution of IncI1 replicons by country for the 1,194 IncI1 replicon-positive isolates, are also shown. The isolates harbouring an IncI1 plasmid with > 98% match to the reference panel plasmids is given for each country.
