Uncommon Properties of pLD105 Conjugative Plasmid

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

Plasmid pLD105 isolated from a clinical strain of E. coli determines nitrofuran resistance due to inactivation of low-molecular-weight nitrofuran reductase subunit. pLD105 plasmid belongs to IncF. It is a conjugative plasmid and mobilizes chromosome markers, but is not transmitted to strains containing other plasmids. However, the presence of pLD105 plasmid in the recipient strain does not prevent incorporation of other plasmids, including nonconjugative ones. Transfer of nonconjugative plasmids from the donor to a recipient strain carrying pLD105 was denoted as “reverse donation”.
