Not So Mosaic After All? The Core Genomes of IncP-1 Plasmids Evolve Predominantly Through Vertical Transmission
2025-08-15
Abstract excerpt
Broad-host-range plasmids of the incompatibility group IncP-1 play an important role in bacterial evolution by disseminating genes between diverse bacteria. This includes the notable spread of antibiotic resistance genes to bacterial pathogens that increasingly threaten human health. A better understanding of the evolution of genetic elements like IncP-1 plasmids that underwrite bacterial adaptation is required to...
