The overall architecture of IncP-1 plasmids is very conserved in that the accessory genes
are typically located in one or two specific regions: between oriV and trfA and between the …

The broad host range IncP plasmids are of particular interest because of their ability to
promote gene spread between diverse bacterial species. To facilitate study of these …

The nucleotide sequences of the broad-host-range antibiotic resistance plasmids pB2 (61
kb) and pB3 (56 kb), which were isolated from a wastewater treatment plant, were …

Plasmid Rms149, the archetype of Pseudomonas plasmid incompatibility group IncP-6, was
identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an agent conferring resistance to streptomycin …

IncP plasmids are important contributors to bacterial adaptation. Their phenotypic diversity is
due largely to accessory regions located in one or two specific parts of the plasmid. The …

We constructed a transfer system consisting of two compatible multicopy plasmids carrying
the transfer regions Tra1 and Tra2 of the broad-host-range IncP plasmid RP4. In this system …

Although IncP-1 plasmids are important for horizontal gene transfer among bacteria, in
particular antibiotic resistance spread, so far only three plasmids from the subgroup IncP-1α …

Broad-host-range plasmids play a critical role in the spread of antibiotic resistance and other
traits. In spite of increasing information about the genomic diversity of closely related …

Conjugative plasmids play a very important role in bacterial adaptation through the
dissemination of useful traits. Incompatibility group P-1 (IncP-1) plasmids exhibit an extreme …

We have identified regions encoding conjugal transfer, plasmid maintenance, and
trimethoprim resistance on the IncP-1 plasmid R751 by complementation tests with cloned …
