Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Clinical Pathogens
Toxins, 2016 Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are prevalent in bacteria and archaea. Although not essential for normal cell growth, TA systems are implicated in multiple cellular functions associated with survival under stress conditions. Clinical strains of bacteria are

Rapid compensatory evolution promotes the survival of conjugative plasmids [PDF]
, 2016 Conjugative plasmids play a vital role in bacterial adaptation through horizontal gene transfer. Explaining how plasmids persist in host populations however is difficult, given the high costs often associated with plasmid carriage. Compensatory evolution

Enterococcus faecalis an Emerging Microbial Menace in Dentistry-An Insight into the In-Silico Detection of Drug Resistant Genes and Its Protein Diversity [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018 Introduction: Antimicrobial drug resistance is evolving as a serious threat to mankind due to indiscriminate use of antibiotics and lack of awareness about the mechanisms involved in drug resistance.

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.

Parallel compensatory evolution stabilizes plasmids across the parasitism-mutualism continuum [PDF]
, 2015 Plasmids drive genomic diversity in bacteria via horizontal gene transfer [1 and 2]; nevertheless, explaining their survival in bacterial populations is challenging [3].

COPLA, a taxonomic classifier of plasmids
BMC Bioinformatics, 2020 Plasmids are mobile genetic elements, key in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance, virulence determinants and other adaptive traits in bacteria. Obtaining a robust method for plasmid classification is necessary to better understand the genetics and
