Galli Dominique M, Chen Jinbiao
Abstract excerpt
Conjugative plasmid transfer into a recipient cell containing the same or a closely related plasmid is inhibited by a mechanism called entry or surface exclusion. The function of entry exclusion is to reduce unproductive conjugation. The current study assessed the exclusion activity on conjugal plasmid pVT745 by conducting mating experiments with genetically distinguishable derivatives of this plasmid. Our...
