The distribution of plasmids that carry virulence and resistance genes in Staphylococcus aureus is lineage associated. [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is major human and animal pathogen. Plasmids often carry resistance genes and virulence genes that can disseminate through S. aureus populations by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) mechanisms. Sequences of S.

Cloning vectors for gene delivery, integration and expression in Campylobacter jejuni
BioTechniques, 2022 Campylobacter genetics research is negatively impacted by a shortage of molecular tools for expressing DNA elements. A previous technique coupled an antibiotic resistance gene and its promoter to a gene of interest, inserting this expression unit into a ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2014 ABSTRACT Iteron-containing plasmids are model systems for studying the metabolism of extrachromosomal genetic elements in bacterial cells. Here we describe the current knowledge and understanding of the structure of iteron-containing replicons, the structure of the iteron plasmid encoded replication initiation proteins, and the molecular ...

Reporter constructs with low background activity utilizing the cat gene [PDF]
, 1992 Reporter plasmids utilizing the cat gene for the analysis of promoter and enhancer sequences in vertebrate cells, were constructed. These plasmids minimize the background of transcription derived from cryptic promoters or cryptic regulatory elements ...

Analysis of two pheromone-responsive conjugative multiresistance plasmids carrying the novel mobile optrA locus from Enterococcus faecalis [PDF]
, 2019 Background: The acquired optrA gene, which encodes a ribosomal protection protein of the ABC-F family, can confer cross-resistance to linezolid and florfenicol, posing a serious therapeutic challenge to both human and veterinary medicine.

Lactococcus lactis M4, a potential host for the expression of heterologous proteins [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Many plasmid-harbouring strains of Lactococcus lactis have been isolated from milk and other sources. Plasmids of Lactococcus have been shown to harbour antibiotic resistance genes and those that express some important proteins. The generally
