Transfer potential of F-like plasmids in <i>Escherichia coli</i> differs by animal environment

2026-02-03

Abstract excerpt

Plasmids play a key role in the spread of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes to new genetic backgrounds. Genetic variation in the transfer operon, which contain the genes responsible for conjugation, can lead to substantial differences in transfer potential even between closely related plasmids. However, it is not clear how much genetic diversity there is in transfer operons of natural bacterial populati...
