Conjugation and Genetic Exchange in Enterococci

Don B. Clewell, Gary M. Dunny

The medical importance of the enterococci is closely related to the propensity of these organisms to participate in the horizontal transfer of determinants for antibiotic resistance and virulence. Conjugative plasmids in enterococci tend to fall into two main groups. Members of one …

Conjugation in Gram-Positive Bacteria

Don B. Clewell, María Victoria Francia

This chapter discusses conjugative systems in various gram-positive genera, and includes some discussion of conjugative transposons insofar as they assume a plasmid-like (circular) intermediate structure during movement. The pheromone-responding plasmids, which frequently encode antibiotic resistance traits as well as the production of …

Antibiotic Resistance Plasmids in Bacteria

Don B. Clewell

Abstract Antibiotic resistance plasmids are bacterial extrachromosomal elements that carry genes conferring resistance to one or more antibiotics. They are notorious for their ability to transfer by conjugation between bacterial species and are significantly involved in the emergence and dissemination of multiple …

Extrachromosomal and mobile elements in enterococci: transmission, maintenance, and epidemiology

Don B. Clewell, Keith E. Weaver, Gary M. Dunny, Teresa M. Coque et autres

Extrachromosomal elements are ubiquitous in the prokaryotic world and play important roles in the adaptation and survival of cell populations, especially in changing environments. Plasmids are readily found in enterococci, and it is not unusual for clinical and commensal strains (e.g. Enterococcus …
