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

open access: yesNucleic 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,

Pathways for horizontal gene transfer in bacteria revealed by a global map of their plasmids

open access: yesNature 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 ...

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

open access: yesProceedings 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).

Plasmid evolution

Current Biology, 2020
Plasmids are genetic elements that colonize and replicate in prokaryotic cells (Box 1). They are considered a major driving force of prokaryote evolution, as they can migrate between populations, making them potent agents of lateral DNA transfer and microbial warfare.

Ti plasmids of Agrobacterium as conjugative plasmids

Nature, 1977
THE relationship of the plant-oncogenic properties of Agrobacterium tumefaciens to the presence in these strains of large plasmids (the Ti plasmids) has now been convincingly demonstrated in several ways: oncogenic strains cured of the Ti plasmid lose their oncogenicity irreversibly1–3; transfer of Ti plasmids to non-oncogenic plasmidless strains ...
