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

Phys. 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

How the other half lives: CRISPR-Cas's influence on bacteriophages [PDF]

Evolutionary Biology : Self, Non-Self Evolution, Species and Complex Traits, Evolution, Methods and Concepts, ISBN 978-3-319-61569-1, edited by Pierre Pontarotti, Springer Nature, September 2017, pp. 63-85, 2017
CRISPR-Cas is a genetic adaptive immune system unique to prokaryotic cells used to combat phage and plasmid threats. The host cell adapts by incorporating DNA sequences from invading phages or plasmids into its CRISPR locus as spacers.

Dutch patients, retail chicken meat and poultry share the same ESBL genes, plasmids and strains [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2011
Intestinal carriage of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) -producing bacteria in food-producing animals and contamination of retail meat may contribute to increased incidences of infections with ESBL-producing bacteria in humans.

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 ...

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).

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
