Comparative genomic analysis of two novel plasmids from Acidithiobacillus ferrivorans strain PQ33
Revista Peruana de Biología, 2021 Acidithiobacillus ferrivorans is a psychrotolerant acidophile capable of growing and oxidizing ferrous and sulphide substrates at low temperatures. To date, six genomes of this organism have been characterized; however, evidence of a plasmid in this ...

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2010 SUMMARYPlasmids are key vectors of horizontal gene transfer and essential genetic engineering tools. They code for genes involved in many aspects of microbial biology, including detoxication, virulence, ecological interactions, and antibiotic resistance.

Antibiotics, 2020 As small, mobilizable replicons with a broad host range, IncQ plasmids are widely distributed among clinical and environmental bacteria. They carry antibiotic resistance genes, and it has been shown that they confer resistance to β-lactams ...

Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is a global concern. While the majority of the CPE outbreaks are due to clonal spread, recent findings highlight the transmission of carbapenemase gene-carrying plasmids across various ...

Carbapenemases: Transforming Acinetobacter baumannii into a Yet More Dangerous Menace
Biomolecules, 2020 Acinetobacter baumannii is a common cause of serious nosocomial infections. Although community-acquired infections are observed, the vast majority occur in people with preexisting comorbidities. A. baumannii emerged as a problematic pathogen in the 1980s

The rise and spread of mcr plasmid-mediated polymyxin resistance
Critical reviews in microbiology, 2019 Polymyxins are important lipopeptide antibiotics that serve as the last-line defense against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections. Worryingly, the clinical utility of polymyxins is currently facing a serious threat with the global

Plasmid-to-plasmid recombination in Haemophilus influenzae [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1986 No recombination between plasmids was observed after conjugal transfer of a plasmid into a cell carrying another plasmid. Two types of such recombination took place after transformation, one type being Rec+ dependent and suggesting a preferred site of recombination. The other much rarer type was at least partially Rec+ independent.

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.

Journal of Microbiology & Biology EducationThis classroom curriculum is designed to teach the topic of cloning in both small- and large-enrollment undergraduate general microbiology courses. Students often struggle to grasp and visualize genetic engineering or cloning, in which a piece of DNA is ...
