The Role of the Salmonella spvB IncF Plasmid and Its Resident Entry Exclusion Gene traS on Plasmid Exclusion

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Salmonella enterica cause significant illnesses worldwide. There has been a marked increase in resistance to fluoroquinolones and β-lactams/cephalosporins, antibiotics commonly used to treat salmonellosis. However, S.

Plasmid characterization in bacterial isolates of public health relevance in a tertiary healthcare facility in Kilimanjaro region, Tanzania

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Plasmids andAeromonasvirulence [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS 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]

open access: yesMicrobiology, 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.

The Salmonella typhimurium virulence plasmid encodes a positive regulator of a plasmid-encoded virulence gene [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Involvement of Tn3 transposon in formation and transmission of hypervirulent and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Hypervirulent and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a severe threat to public health for its high pathogenicity, transmissibility, and drug resistance.

Coexistence of Multidrug Resistance and Virulence in a Single Conjugative Plasmid from a Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolate of Sequence Type 25

open access: yesmSphere, 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
