Characterization of Four Multidrug Resistance Plasmids Captured from the Sediments of an Urban Coastal Wetland

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Self-transmissible and mobilizable plasmids contribute to the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria by enabling the horizontal transfer of acquired antibiotic resistance.

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.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Role of plasmids in antibiotic resistance in clinical infections and implications for epidemiological surveillance: a review

All Life
The global upsurge in antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) is putting immense pressure on healthcare. The spreading of antimicrobial resistance is facilitated by mobile genetic elements, most especially plasmids.

Construction of a recombinant plasmid pSH-G containing the rabies-virus glycoprotein G gene

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2007
A plasmid named pSH-G was constructed with the rabies-virus G-gene insert. This plasmid was transfected into eukaryotic BHK-21 cells and its stability tested.

Dutch patients, retail chicken meat and poultry share the same ESBL genes, plasmids and strains [PDF]

Intestinal carriage of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) -producing bacteria in food-producing animals and contamination of retail meat may contribute to increased incidences of infections with ESBL-producing bacteria in humans.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Plasmid transmission dynamics and evolution of partner quality in a natural population of Rhizobium leguminosarum

mBio
Many bacterial traits important to host–microbe symbiosis are determined by genes carried on extrachromosomal replicons, such as plasmids, chromids, and integrative and conjugative elements. Multiple such replicons often coexist within a single cell and,

Antimicrobial Resistance Genes, Cassettes, and Plasmids Present in Salmonella enterica Associated With United States Food Animals

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The ability of antimicrobial resistance (AR) to transfer, on mobile genetic elements (MGEs) between bacteria, can cause the rapid establishment of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria from animals, thus creating a foodborne risk to human health.
