Nucleotide sequences of five IncF plasmid finP alleles

Nucleotide sequences of five IncF plasmid finP alleles.

The nucleotide sequences of five finP alleles from various IncF plasmids (finP types I to V) as well as of three finP mutations were determined and compared. The finP gene specificity could be attributed to a variable, six-to-seven-nucleotide loop located between inverted repeats, and the sequence data were consistent with the product of finP being an RNA molecule rather than a protein. The fin...

Plasmid Curing Activity of Five Plant Extracts on Multiple Resistant Plasmid Bearing Klebsiella Pnumoniae Strains

ABSTRACT The curing of five medicinal plant extracts (Satureia hortensis, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Teucrium Pollium, Myrtus Communis, Eukalypetus globolus) on plasmid bearing strains of klebsilla pnenmoniae resistance to multiple antibiotics were investigated. Alcoholic and maceration extraction were carried out from leaves, fruits or roots of the above plants. Mimimum inhibitory concentrations (MI...

Complete Nucleotide Sequence of an Escherichia coli Sequence Type 410 Strain Carrying blaNDM-5 on an IncF Multidrug Resistance Plasmid and blaOXA-181 on an IncX3 Plasmid

Using Nanopore sequencing, we describe here the circular genome of an Escherichia coli sequence type 410 (ST410) strain with five closed plasmids. A large 111-kb incompatibility group F (IncF) plasmid harbored blaNDM-5 and 16 other resistance genes. A 51-kb IncX3 plasmid carried QnrS1 and blaOXA-181E. coli isolates with both blaNDM-5 and blaOXA-181 carbapenemases are rare.

Regulation of finP transcription by DNA adenine methylation in the virulence plasmid of Salmonella enterica.

DNA adenine methylase (Dam(-)) mutants of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium contain reduced levels of FinP RNA encoded on the virulence plasmid. Dam methylation appears to regulate finP transcription, rather than FinP RNA stability or turnover. The finP promoter includes canonical -10 and -35 modules and depends on the sigma(70) factor. Regulation of finP transcription by Dam methylation ...
