Abstract excerpt
The presence of a pXO1- and/or pXO2-like plasmid(s) in clinical isolates of Bacillus cereus sensu stricto and in strains of the biopesticide Bacillus thuringiensis has been reported recently, and the pXO2-like plasmid pBT9727 and another pXO2-like plasmid, pAW63, were found to be conjugative.
