Phylogeny of Replication Initiator Protein TrfA Reveals a Highly Divergent Clade of Incompatibility Group P1 Plasmids

Incompatibility group P1 (IncP-1) plasmid diversity was evaluated based on replication initiator protein (TrfA) phylogeny. A new and highly divergent clade was identified. Replication assays indica...

Plasmid pBP136 from Bordetella pertussis represents an ancestral form of IncP-1 beta plasmids without accessory mobile elements

The complete 41 268 bp nucleotide sequence of the IncP-1 beta plasmid pBP136 from the human pathogen Bordetella pertussis, the primary aetiological agent of whooping cough, was determined and analy...
