Open reading frames (ORFs) were predicted using RAST (rapid annotation using subsystem technology, http://rast.nmpdr.org) combined with BLASTP/BLASTN searches. The plasmid maps were generated using GenomeVx (http://wolfe.ucd.ie/GenomeVx/). The comparison of circular plasmid map was given with the BLAST Ring Image Generator (version 0.95) [49], whereas linear alignments of multiple genomic loci were conducted using Easyfig [50]. Plasmid incompatibility typing were identified by PlasmidFinder 1.3 (https://cge.cbs.dtu.dk/services/PlasmidFinder-1.3/). Antibiotic resistance genes were detected by ResFinder 3.1 (https://cge.cbs.dtu.dk/services/ResFinder/).
