Phage-Plasmids Spread Antibiotic Resistance Genes through Infection and Lysogenic Conversion

bioRxiv, 2022
The dissemination of antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to global health. Here, we show that a group of temperate bacterial viruses (phages), termed phage-plasmids, commonly encode different and multiple types of resistance genes of high clinical

Conjugative plasmids interact with insertion sequences to shape the horizontal transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance There is great interest in understanding how antibiotic resistance is disseminated by MGEs (i.e., plasmids, insertion sequences, and integrons).

Bacteria have numerous distinctive groups of phage–plasmids with conserved phage and variable plasmid gene repertoires

Nucleic Acids Research, 2021
Plasmids and temperate phages are key contributors to bacterial evolution. They are usually regarded as very distinct. However, some elements, termed phage–plasmids, are known to be both plasmids and phages, e.g. P1, N15 or SSU5. The number, distribution,

Plasmid Transfer in the Ocean – A Case Study from the Roseobacter Group

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Plasmid mediated horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been speculated to be one of the prime mechanisms for the adaptation of roseobacters (Rhodobacteraceae) to their ecological niches in the marine habitat.

Genomic Surveillance of Ceftriaxone-Resistant Escherichia coli in Western New York Suggests the Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase blaCTX-M-27 Is Emerging on Distinct Plasmids in ST38

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae pose significant treatment and infection prevention challenges. Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) 131 associated with the blaCTX-M-15 gene has been the dominant lineage of ESBL-producing

Brazilian Ironstone Plant Communities as Reservoirs of Culturable Bacteria With Diverse Biotechnological Potential

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Extensive mineral extractivism in the Brazilian Iron Quadrangle (IQ) region has destroyed large areas of land, decimating plant species, and their associated microbiota.

Construction of a recombinant plasmid pSH-G containing the rabies-virus glycoprotein G gene

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2007
A plasmid named pSH-G was constructed with the rabies-virus G-gene insert. This plasmid was transfected into eukaryotic BHK-21 cells and its stability tested.

Antimicrobial Resistance Genes, Cassettes, and Plasmids Present in Salmonella enterica Associated With United States Food Animals

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The ability of antimicrobial resistance (AR) to transfer, on mobile genetic elements (MGEs) between bacteria, can cause the rapid establishment of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria from animals, thus creating a foodborne risk to human health.

Whole genome sequencing and characteristics of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli isolated from poultry farms in Banaskantha, India

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Worldwide dissemination of extended-spectrum -lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli constitutes an emerging global health issue, with animal food products contributing as potential reservoirs. ESBL E.

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)
