Genomic Comparison of Conjugative Plasmids from <i>Salmonella enterica</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i> Encoding Beta-Lactamases and Capable of Mobilizing Kanamycin Resistance Col-like Plasmids

<i>Salmonella enterica</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i> are important human pathogens that frequently contain plasmids, both large and small, carrying antibiotic resistance genes. Large conjugative plasmids are known to mobilize small Col plasmids, but less is known about the...

Genomic Comparison of Conjugative Plasmids from <i>Salmonella enterica</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i> Encoding Beta-Lactamases and Capable of Mobilizing Kanamycin Resistance Col-like Plasmids
description <i>Salmonella enterica</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i> are important human pathogens that frequently contain plasmids, both large and small, carrying antibiotic resistance genes. Large conjugative plasmids are known to mobilize small Col plasmids, but less is known about the specificity of mobilization. In the current study, six <i>S. enterica</i> and four <i>E. coli</i> strains containing large plasmids were tested for their ability to mobilize three different kanamycin resistance Col plasmids (KanR plasmids). Large conjugative plasmids from five isolates, four <i>S. enterica</i> and one <i>E. coli</i>, were able to mobilize KanR plasmids of various types. Plasmids capable of mobilizing the KanR plasmids were either IncI1 or IncX, while IncI1 and IncX plasmids with no evidence of conjugation had disrupted transfer regions. Conjugative plasmids of similar types mobilized similar KanR plasmids, but not all conjugative plasmid types were capable of mobilizing all of the KanR plasmids. These data describe some of the complexities and specificities of individual small plasmid mobilization.
