Colicin V virulence plasmids [PDF]
Microbiological Reviews, 1991 ColV plasmids are a heterogeneous group of IncFI plasmids which encode virulence-related properties such as the aerobactin iron uptake system, increased serum survival, and resistance to phagocytosis. These plasmids have been found in invasive strains of Escherichia coli which infect vertebrate hosts including humans and livestock.

Plasmids andAeromonasvirulence [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1997 Most putative virulence determinants of Aeromonas species are chromosomally encoded. However, several recent reports have indicated that some may be carried on or regulated by plasmids. Therefore, we examined the plasmid carriage rate of a total of 140 clinical and environmental Aeromonas isolates.

Distribution of Virulence Plasmids within Salmonellae [PDF]
Microbiology, 1989 The virulence region of the Salmonella dublin 50 MDa plasmid shared homology with 678 of 1021 salmonellae tested in colony hybridization experiments. The majority of S. dublin, S. typhimurium and S. enteritidis isolates tested hybridized with the region whereas, with the exception of S. hessarek, S. pullorum and S.

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2020 Background: Zoonotic Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis (S. Choleraesuis), causing paratyphoid in pigs and bacteremia in humans, commonly carry a virulence plasmid and sometimes a separate antimicrobial-resistant plasmid or merging together.

The Salmonella typhimurium virulence plasmid encodes a positive regulator of a plasmid-encoded virulence gene [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1991 The 90-kb virulence plasmid of Salmonella typhimurium is necessary for invasion beyond the Peyer's patches to the mesenteric lymph nodes and spleens of orally inoculated mice. Two Tn5 insertions located on the left side of a previously identified 14-kb virulence region (P. A. Gulig and R. Curtiss III, Infect. Immun.

Complete nucleotide sequences of virulence-resistance plasmids carried by emerging multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium isolated from cattle in Hokkaido, Japan. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In the present study, we have shown that virulence-resistance plasmids from emerging multidrug-resistant isolates of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium were derived from a virulence-associated plasmid, essential for systematic invasiveness of S ...

Plasmid required for virulence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1975 The irreversible loss of crown gall-inducing ability of Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C-58 during growth at 37 C is shown to be due to loss of a large plasmid (1.2 X 10-8 daltons). The gene responsible for this high rate of plasmid loss at elevated temperatures seems to be located on the plasmid. In addition, another spontaneous avirulent variant, A.

mSphere, 2022 Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) has received considerable attention. Typically, the genetic elements that confer virulence are harbored by nonconjugative plasmids. In this study, we report a CR-hvKP strain, CY814036, of
