Genotypic analyses of IncHI2 plasmids from enteric bacteria

Scientific Reports
Incompatibility (Inc) HI2 plasmids are large (typically > 200 kb), transmissible plasmids that encode antimicrobial resistance (AMR), heavy metal resistance (HMR) and disinfectants/biocide resistance (DBR).

Understanding the Association of Plasmid Incompatibility Groups With Variable Antimicrobial Resistance Genotypes in Bacteria. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
Multi‐replicon plasmids, particularly those belonging to the IncF, IncI, and IncH families, act as major vectors of antimicrobial resistance genes. Although no clear association was found between incompatibility groups and specific antibiotic classes, plasmids with more replicons exhibited higher resistance potential, highlighting their role in AMR ...

Characterization of the Complete Nucleotide Sequences of mcr-1-Encoding Plasmids From Enterobacterales Isolates in Retailed Raw Meat Products From the Czech Republic

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The aim of our study was to determine complete nucleotide sequence of mcr-1-carrying plasmids from Enterobacterales isolates recovered from domestic and imported raw retailed meat and compare them with plasmids available at the GenBank sequence database.
