Chlamydial plasmids and bacteriophages.
Chlamydia are absolute pathogens of humans and animals; despite being rather well recognised, they are still open for discovery. One such discovery is the occurrence of extrachromosomal carriers of genetic information. In prokaryotes, such carriers include plasmids and bacteriophages, which are present only among some Chlamydia species. Plasmids were found exclusively in Chlamydia (C.) trachoma...
متن کاملDiversity of IncP-9 plasmids of Pseudomonas
IncP-9 plasmids are important vehicles for degradation and resistance genes that contribute to the adaptability of Pseudomonas species in a variety of natural habitats. The three completely sequenced IncP-9 plasmids, pWW0, pDTG1 and NAH7, show extensive homology in replication, partitioning and transfer loci (an approximately 25 kb region) and to a lesser extent in the remaining backbone segmen...
متن کاملDiversity of silver resistance genes in IncH incompatibility group plasmids.
Silver compounds are used as antimicrobial agents in medicine and bacteria that develop resistance to silver cations (Ag(+)) pose problems similar to those of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The first set of Ag(+) resistance genes (sil) was from plasmid pMG101, now assigned to the IncHI incompatibility group. Questions of whether sil genes are unique to pMG101 or are more widely found, and wheth...
متن کاملInvestigation of diversity of plasmids carrying the blaTEM-52 gene.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the diversity of plasmids that carry bla(TEM-52) genes among Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica originating from animals, meat products and humans. METHODS A collection of 22 bla(TEM-52)-encoding plasmids was characterized by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), replicon typing (by PCR or replicon sequencing), susceptibility testing, assessment of p...
متن کاملChlamydial infections in man.
The earliest reference to a disease now known to be of chlamydial aetiology is to be found in the EBERS papyrus (1500 B.C.). A cicatrizing eye disease, and its treatment with copper salts, is described. This disease was first called 'trachoma' (rough eye) in A.D. 60 by the Sicilian physician Pedonius Diascarides. Moses' warning concerning the 'running issue of his flesh' (Leviticus 15 w. 1-2) m...
