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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

open access: yesEuro 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.

Repository-based plasmid design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
There was an explosion in the amount of commercially available DNA in sequence repositories over the last decade. The number of such plasmids increased from 12,000 to over 300,000 among three of the largest repositories: iGEM, Addgene, and DNASU.

Epidemiology and Molecular Characteristics of mcr-9 in Citrobacter spp. from Healthy Individuals and Patients in China

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
With the globally prevailing carbapenemase-producing (CP) Citrobacter spp., polymyxin antibiotics have been reconsidered as one of the last-resort treatment options.

Parallel compensatory evolution stabilizes plasmids across the parasitism-mutualism continuum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Plasmids drive genomic diversity in bacteria via horizontal gene transfer [1 and 2]; nevertheless, explaining their survival in bacterial populations is challenging [3].

Fitness Advantage of mcr-1–Bearing IncI2 and IncX4 Plasmids in Vitro

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The objective of this study was to assess the impact of diverse plasmids bearing colistin resistance gene mcr-1 on host fitness. Forty-seven commensal E.

Inference of plasmid copy number mean and noise from single cell gene expression data [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. E 82, 051916 (2010), 2010
Plasmids are extra-chromosomal DNA molecules which code for their own replication. We previously reported a setup using genes coding for fluorescent proteins of two colors that allowed us, using a simple model, to extract the plasmid copy number noise in a monoclonal population of bacteria [J. Wong Ng et al., Phys. Rev. E, 81, 011909 (2010)].

Complete Sequences of Multiple-Drug Resistant IncHI2 ST3 Plasmids in Escherichia coli of Porcine Origin in Australia

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2019
IncHI2 ST3 plasmids are known carriers of multiple antimicrobial resistance genes. Complete plasmid sequences from multiple drug resistant Escherichia coli circulating in Australian swine is however limited.

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 ...
