The IncQ plasmids have a broader host-range than any other known replicating element in
bacteria. Studies on the replication and conjugative mobilization of these plasmids, which …

Conjugative relaxases are well-characterized proteins responsible for the site-and strand-
specific endonucleolytic cleavage and strand transfer reactions taking place at the start and …

The plasmid R1162 encodes proteins that enable its conjugative mobilization between
bacterial cells. It can transfer between many different species and is one of the most …

Antimicrobial resistance poses a great danger to humanity, in part due to the widespread
horizontal gene transfer of plasmids via conjugation. Modeling of plasmid transfer is …

Enterococcus faecium has a highly variable genome prone to recombination and horizontal
gene transfer. Here, we have identified a novel genetic island with an insertion locus and …

Burkholderia cenocepacia is both a plant pathogen and the cause of serious opportunistic
infections, particularly in cystic fibrosis patients. B. cenocepacia K56-2 harbors a native …

ABSTRACT Plasmids pRAS3. 1 and pRAS3. 2 are two closely related, natural variants of the
IncQ-2 plasmid family that have identical plasmid backbones except for two differences …

The mobilization proteins of the broad-host-range plasmid R1162 can initiate conjugative
transfer of a plasmid from a 19-bp locus that is partially degenerate in sequence. Such loci …

IncA/C plasmids are a class of plasmids from the Enterobacteriaceae that are relatively large
(49 to> 180 kbp), that are readily transferred by conjugation, and that carry multiple …

Los plásmidos son elementos genéticos extracromosómicos implicados en la aparición de
microorganismos multi-resistentes, dada su capacidad para transferir horizontalmente …
