Characterization of Four Multidrug Resistance Plasmids Captured from the Sediments of an Urban Coastal Wetland

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Self-transmissible and mobilizable plasmids contribute to the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria by enabling the horizontal transfer of acquired antibiotic resistance.

Diverse Fluoroquinolone Resistance Plasmids From Retail Meat E. coli in the United States

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Fluoroquinolones are used to treat serious bacterial infections, including those caused by Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica. The emergence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) represent a new challenge to the successful treatment of ...

Mobility of Plasmids [PDF]

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.

Pathogen invasion-dependent tissue reservoirs and plasmid-encoded antibiotic degradation boost plasmid spread in the gut

eLife, 2021
Many plasmids encode antibiotic resistance genes. Through conjugation, plasmids can be rapidly disseminated. Previous work identified gut luminal donor/recipient blooms and tissue-lodged plasmid-bearing persister cells of the enteric pathogen Salmonella ...

Plasmid classifications

Plasmid, 2023
Plasmids are universally present in bacteria and play key roles in the dissemination of genes such as antibiotic resistance determinants. Major concepts in Plasmid Biology derive from the efforts to classify plasmids. Here, we review the main plasmid classification systems, starting by phenotype-based methods, such as fertility inhibition and ...

The hazard of carbapenemase (OXA-181)-producing Escherichia coli spreading in pig and veal calf holdings in Italy in the genomics era: Risk of spill over and spill back between humans and animals

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) are considered a major public health issue. In the frame of the EU Harmonized AMR Monitoring program conducted in Italy in 2021, 21 epidemiological units of fattening pigs (6.98%; 95% CI 4.37–10.47%; 21/301)

Wastewater bacteria remediating the pharmaceutical metformin: Genomes, plasmids and products

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Metformin is used globally to treat type II diabetes, has demonstrated anti-ageing and COVID mitigation effects and is a major anthropogenic pollutant to be bioremediated by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Metformin is not adsorbed well by activated
