Antiparallel plasmid-plasmid pairing may control P1 plasmid replication. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1991 The copy number of the P1 plasmid replicon is stringently controlled, giving only one or two copies per newborn cell. Control is achieved by the action of the copy-control locus incA, which contains nine repeats of the 19-basepair binding site for the plasmid-encoded initiator protein RepA.

A Comparison of Plasmid DNA and mRNA as Vaccine Technologies
Vaccines, 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 ...

Exploiting CRISPR-Cas to manipulate Enterococcus faecalis populations
eLife, 2017 CRISPR-Cas provides a barrier to horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes. It was previously observed that functional CRISPR-Cas systems are absent from multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterococcus faecalis, which only possess an orphan CRISPR locus, termed ...

Plasmid evolution in carbapenemase‐producing Enterobacteriaceae: a review
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019 Carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have been listed by the WHO as high‐priority pathogens owing to their high association with mortalities and morbidities.

The gossip paradox: Why do bacteria share genes?
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2022 Bacteria, in contrast to eukaryotic cells, contain two types of genes: chromosomal genes that are fixed to the cell, and plasmids, smaller loops of DNA capable of being passed from one cell to another.
