Several copies of the same insertion sequence are present in alpha-hemolytic plasmids belonging to four different incompatibility groups.
Alpha-hemolytic plasmids belonging to four different incompatibility groups contained several copies (two to six) of the same DNA sequence. This sequence was capable of illegitimate recombination and thus behaved as an insertion sequence element. Its size (1.9 kilobases) and restriction enzyme cleavage map suggested that it was different from previously described insertion sequence elements.
متن کاملIncompatibility of plasmids containing the replication origin of the Escherichia coli chromosome.
Plasmids containing the replication origin of the Escherichia coli chromosome (oriC plasmids) are unstable in certain recA strains of E. coli. However, they can be maintained more stably in other recA strains. This stable maintenance has allowed us to study the incompatibility properties of oriC plasmids. We have found that two oriC plasmids are incompatible: they cannot be stably coinherited i...
متن کاملLarge plasmids of avian Escherichia coli isolates.
The plasmid DNA of 30 Escherichia coli isolates from chickens was extracted and examined using techniques designed to isolate large plasmids. This plasmid DNA was examined for the presence of certain known virulence-related genes including cvaC, traT, and some aerobactin-related sequences. Seventeen of the 30 isolates contained from one to four plasmids greater than 50 kb in size. Eleven of the...
متن کاملPhysical mapping of a DNA sequence common to plasmids of incompatibility group F I.
We have mapped a region of homology within a 2.2 kilobase segment of plasmids of incompatibility group F I, WHICH IS CONTAINED IN AN EcoRI restriction enzyme fragment bearing genes for autonomous replication; The coordinates of the 2.2 kilobase segment are 46.4F-48.6F on the physical map of the F plasmid. The orgin of vegetative replication has been mapped at 42.5F, at which site F has no seque...
متن کاملDissemination of pHK01-like incompatibility group IncFII plasmids encoding CTX-M-14 in Escherichia coli from human and animal sources.
Few studies have compared CTX-M encoding plasmids identified in different ecological sources. This study aimed to analyze and compare the molecular epidemiology of plasmids encoding CTX-M-14 among strains from humans and animals. The CTX-M-14 encoding plasmids in 160 Escherichia coli isolates from animal faecal (14 pigs, 16 chickens, 12 cats, 8 cattle, 5 dogs and 3 rodents), human faecal (45 ad...
