The polyadenylase PAPI is required for virulence plasmid maintenance in pathogenic bacteria. [PDF]
PLoS PathogensMany species of pathogenic bacteria harbor critical plasmid-encoded virulence factors, and yet the regulation of plasmid replication is often poorly understood despite playing a key role in plasmid-encoded gene expression.

Salmonella virulence plasmid: pathogenesis and ecology [PDF]
Pathogens and Disease, 2017 A current view on the role of the Salmonella virulence plasmid in the pathogenesis of animal and human hosts is discussed; including the possible relevance in secondary ecological niches. Various strategies towards further studies in this respect are proposed within the One Health Concept.

Tracking Recombination Events That Occur in Conjugative Virulence Plasmid p15WZ-82_Vir during the Transmission Process [PDF]
mSystems, 2020 We recently reported the recovery of a conjugative virulence plasmid, p15WZ-82_Vir, from a clinical Klebsiella variicola strain. In this study, we found that several new plasmid types were generated due to genetic rearrangement.

Co-occurrence of OXA-232, RmtF-encoding plasmids, and pLVPK-like virulence plasmid contributed to the generation of ST15-KL112 hypervirulent multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains and restricted therapeutic options pose a global threat to public health. Aminoglycosides are a wise choice, which can effectively reduce the mortality rate when combined with β ...

Emergence of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae ST111 with a novel virulence plasmid causing pyogenic liver abscess [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyObjective Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp)–associated pyogenic liver abscess is most commonly linked to K1/K2 capsule serotypes and canonical lineages such as ST23, ST65, and ST86.

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2016 Certain Salmonella enterica serovars belonging to subspecies I carry low-copy-number virulence plasmids of variable size (50-90 kb). All of these plasmids share the spv operon, which is important for systemic infection.

Genetic determinants of hypervirulence with attenuated pathogenicity in a blaNDM-1-encoding Klebsiella pneumoniae causing neonatal sepsis [PDF]
VirulenceK39 Klebsiella pneumoniae, a previously unrecognized hypervirulent serotype, was isolated from a septicemic neonate. It was assessed for the acquisition of hypervirulence determinants and virulence potential.

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2022 Objectives: Plasmids are infectious double stranded DNA molecules that are found within bacteria. Horizontal gene transfer promotes successful spread of different types of plasmids within or among bacteria species, making their detection an important ...
