Plasmids classified to the IncP-1 incompatibility group belong to the most stably maintained
mobile elements among low copy number plasmids known to date. The remarkable …

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 …

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 …

The IncPα promiscuous plasmid (R18, R68, RK2, RP1 and RP4) comprises 60,099 bp of
nucleotide sequence, encoding at least 74 genes. About 40 kb of the genome, designated …

The central control region (Ctl) of IncP plasmids is associated with two phenotypes: the
coordinate expression of replication and transfer genes; and the ability to increase the …

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

The plasmids of the incompatibility (Inc) group IncP-1, also called IncP, as
extrachromosomal genetic elements can transfer and replicate virtually in all Gram-negative …

Sphingomonas sp. A1 (strain A1) is capable of directly incorporating macromolecules (eg,
alginate) through the specialized import system—“super-channel.” Here, we report the …

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

The antibiotic resistance plasmid pBS228 has been completely sequenced, and revealed to
be descended from a plasmid virtually identical to the Birmingham IncP-1α plasmid …
