Plasmids of corynebacteria [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS 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

open access: yesNucleic 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 ...

Plasmid persistence: costs, benefits, and the plasmid paradox. [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Microbiology, 2018
Plasmids are extrachromosomal DNA elements that can be found throughout bacteria, as well as in other domains of life. Nonetheless, the evolutionary processes underlying the persistence of plasmids are incompletely understood. Bacterial plasmids may encode genes for traits that are sometimes beneficial to their hosts, such as antimicrobial resistance,

Plasmid Negative Regulation of CPAF Expression Is Pgp4 Independent and Restricted to Invasive Chlamydia trachomatis Biovars

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes blinding trachoma and sexually transmitted disease. C. trachomatis isolates are classified into 2 biovars—lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) and trachoma—which are ...

Co-occurrence of blaNDM–1 and mcr-9 in a Conjugative IncHI2/HI2A Plasmid From a Bloodstream Infection-Causing Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Spread of the carbapenemase-encoding and mobilized colistin resistance (mcr) genes among Enterobacteriales poses a great threat to global public health, especially when the both genes are transferred by a single plasmid.

A certified plasmid reference material for the standardisation of BCR-ABL1 mRNA quantification by real time quantitative PCR [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Serial quantification of BCR–ABL1 mRNA is an important therapeutic indicator in chronic myeloid leukaemia, but there is a substantial variation in results reported by different laboratories.

A Comparison of Plasmid DNA and mRNA as Vaccine Technologies

open access: yesVaccines, 2019
This review provides a comparison of the theoretical issues and experimental findings for plasmid DNA and mRNA vaccine technologies. While both have been under development since the 1990s, in recent years, significant excitement has turned to mRNA ...

Integrated chromosomal and plasmid sequence analyses reveal diverse modes of carbapenemase gene spread among Klebsiella pneumoniae

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance In many clinically important bacteria, antibiotic resistance genes are primarily carried on plasmids. These can spread horizontally between different strains and species.

Genome characteristics of the optrA-positive Clostridium perfringens strain QHY-2 carrying a novel plasmid type

open access: yesmSystems, 2023
Clostridium perfringens is a bacterial species of importance to both public and animal health. The gene optrA is the first gene that confers resistance to the tedizolid, a last-resort antimicrobial agent in human medicine.
