Plasmids in Gram negatives: molecular typing of resistance plasmids.

International journal of medical microbiology : IJMM - 1 Dec 2011

Abstract excerpt

A plasmid is defined as a double stranded, circular DNA molecule capable of autonomous replication. By definition, plasmids do not carry genes essential for the growth of host cells under non-stressed conditions but they have systems which guarantee their autonomous replication also controlling the copy number and ensuring stable inheritance during cell division. Most of the plasmids confer positively selectable...
