Pathways for horizontal gene transfer in bacteria revealed by a global map of their plasmids
Nature Communications, 2020 Plasmids can mediate horizontal gene transfer of antibiotic resistance, virulence genes, and other adaptive factors across bacterial populations. Here, we analyze genomic composition and pairwise sequence identity for over 10,000 reference plasmids to ...

Biological Procedures Online, 2003 Relocation into the nucleus of the yeast cytoplasmic linear plasmids was studied using a monitor plasmid pCLU1. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the nuclearly-relocated pCLU1 replicated in a linear form (termed pTLU-type plasmid) which carried the host ...

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

Tigecycline-resistant Escherichia coli ST761 carrying tet(X4) in a pig farm, China
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characterization of tet(X4) in Escherichia coli isolates from a pig farm in Shanghai, China, and to elucidate tet(X4) dissemination mechanism in this swine farm. Forty-nine (80.33%) E.

The Importance of the Expendable: Toxin–Antitoxin Genes in Plasmids and Chromosomes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Toxin–antitoxin (TA) genes were first reported in plasmids and were considered expendable genetic cassettes involved in the stable maintenance of the plasmid replicon by interfering with growth and/or viability of bacteria in which the plasmid was lost ...

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) 3–producing Escherichia coli was isolated from a carrier of KPC-3–producing K. pneumoniae. The KPC-3 plasmid was identical in isolates of both species. The patient's gut flora contained a carbapenem-susceptible E.
