Mosaic Plasmids are Abundant and Unevenly Distributed Across Prokaryotic Taxa

2018-09-26

Abstract excerpt

Mosaic plasmids, plasmids composed of genetic elements from distinct sources, are associated with the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. Transposons are considered the primary mechanism for mosaic plasmid formation, though other mechanisms have been observed in specific instances. The frequency with which mosaic plasmids have been described suggests they may play an important role in plasmid population dynamic...
