Multiple variants of IncF plasmid alleles discovered within single bacterial cells challenge previous assumptions
2024-07-26
Abstract excerpt
IncF plasmids are diverse mobile genetic elements found in bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family and often carry critical antibiotic and virulence gene cargo. The classification of IncF plasmids using the plasmid Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (pMLST) tool compares the sequences of IncF alleles against a database to create a plasmid sequence type (ST). Accurate identification of plasmid STs is epidemiologically...
