Characterization of an agrobacterial plasmid inducible for transfer by mannopine and evolution of the core replication and transfer functions of repabc plasmids with class i quorum-sensing and transfer systems
repABC plasmids are ubiquitous in the α-proteobacteria and are important to the biology of the bacteria that harbor them for several reasons. First, they can carry large amounts of DNA, thereby conferring a wide variety of important characteristics. Some of these traits are important for the …

Allele dynamics in conjugative plasmids: Horizontal transfer promotes allele segregation in multicopy plasmids
… bacteria pose a major threat to human health. Plasmids, particularly through horizontal transfer, are considered key drivers of antimicrobial resistance spread because they can disseminate resistance alleles between bacterial lineages and, in some cases, even across species boundaries. As …
