Abstract excerpt
A 1,3 kb DNA fragment of the IncM plasmid R446, if cloned in a multicopy plasmid, inhibits in trans the expression of conjugation pili by IncM plasmid-harbouring host bacteria as indicated by their insensitivity to the IncM pilus-dependent bacteriophage phi M (Iml, insensitivity to phi M-mediated...
