Abstract AKlebsiella pneumoniae strain having mobilization “helper” potential has been isolated from the river Rhine. Analysis of the transconjugants resulting from the mobilization of nonconjugative pBR-type plasmids and RSF1010 derivatives showed that the transfer-helper capacity of theK. pneumoniae strain is related to the presence of a Tn3-like transposable element, Tn5403. This element has been identified and localized in a plasmid.
