Plasmids of corynebacteria [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1999
Corynebacteria are pleomorphic, asporogenous, Gram-positive bacteria. Included in this group are nonpathogenic soil corynebacteria, which are widely used for the industrial production of amino acids and detergents, and in biotransformation of steroids. Other members of this group are plant and animal pathogens.

PlasFlow: predicting plasmid sequences in metagenomic data using genome signatures

Nucleic Acids Research, 2018
Plasmids are mobile genetics elements that play an important role in the environmental adaptation of microorganisms. Although plasmids are usually analyzed in cultured microorganisms, there is a need for methods that allow for the analysis of pools of ...

Comparative genomic analysis of plasmids harboring blaOXA-48-like genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
The emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a serious medical problem worldwide. Acquired OXA-48-like carbapenemases encoded by plasmids are important causes of carbapenem resistance in K. pneumoniae.

Universal whole-sequence-based plasmid typing and its utility to prediction of host range and epidemiological surveillance

Microbial Genomics, 2020
Bacterial plasmids play a large role in allowing bacteria to adapt to changing environments and can pose a significant risk to human health if they confer virulence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

A clinical KPC-producing Klebsiella michiganensis strain carrying IncFII/IncFIA (HI1)/IncFIB (K) multiple replicon plasmid

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Klebsiella michiganensis is an increasingly important bacterial pathogen causing nosocomial infections in clinical patients. In this study, we described the molecular and genomic characteristics of a carbapenem-resistant K.

Identification of a novel plasmid-mediated colistin-resistance gene, mcr-2, in Escherichia coli, Belgium, June 2016.

Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletin, 2016
We identified a novel plasmid-mediated colistin-resistance gene in porcine and bovine colistin-resistant Escherichia coli that did not contain mcr-1. The gene, termed mcr-2, a 1,617 bp phosphoethanolamine transferase harboured on an IncX4 plasmid, has 76.
