Direct and convenient measurement of plasmid stability in lab and clinical isolates of E. coli

Abstract Plasmids are important mobile elements in bacteria, contributing to evolution, virulence, and antibiotic resistance. Natural plasmids are generally large and maintained at low copy number and thus prone to be lost. Therefore, dedicated plasmid maintenance systems have evolved, leading to pl...
