Lethality and survival of Klebsiella oxytoca evoked by conjugative IncN group plasmids.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1995

Rodríguez M, Holcík M, Iyer V N

Abstract excerpt

The transmission of plasmid pCU1 (or other IncN group plasmid) into a population of Klebsiella oxytoca cells reduces the viability of the population. A 2,400-bp region adjacent to traA is responsible for this phenotype and includes two regions, called kikA and kikC. Klebsiella cells which received this region and survived were found to acquire a chromosomal mutation which renders them immune to killing even after...
