PLSDB: a resource of complete bacterial plasmids

Nucleic Acids Res., 2018
The study of bacterial isolates or communities requires the analysis of the therein included plasmids in order to provide an extensive characterization of the organisms. Plasmids harboring resistance and virulence factors are of especial interest as they

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 ...

Phage-plasmids promote recombination and emergence of phages and plasmids

Nature Communications
Phages and plasmids are regarded as distinct types of mobile genetic elements that drive bacterial evolution by horizontal gene transfer. However, the distinction between both types is blurred by the existence of elements known as prophage-plasmids or ...

What traits are carried on mobile genetic elements, and why? [PDF]

, 2010
Although similar to any other organism, prokaryotes can transfer genes vertically from mother cell to daughter cell, they can also exchange certain genes horizontally.
