Surface exclusion of IncC conjugative plasmids and their relatives

N. Rivard, M. Humbert, K. T. Huguet, A. Fauconnier, C. Perez Bucio, E. Quirion, V. Burrus

This study identifies Sfx as a novel exclusion factor in IncC plasmids that mediates surface exclusion through interaction with donor adhesin TraN, revealing a mechanism for plasmid incompatibility and antibiotic resistance dissemination.

PixR, a novel activator of conjugative transfer of IncX4 resistance plasmids, mitigates the fitness cost of mcr-1 carriage in Escherichia coli

L. Yi, R. Durand, F. Grenier, J. Yang, K. Yu, V. Burrus, J.-H. Liu

This study identifies PixR as a novel activator of IncX4 plasmid conjugation, showing it reduces the fitness cost of mcr-1 carriage in E. coli.

Genomic islands targeting dusA in Vibrio species are distantly related to Salmonella Genomic Island 1 and mobilizable by IncC conjugative plasmids

R. Durand, F. Deschenes, V. Burrus

The paper identifies genomic islands in Vibrio species related to Salmonella Genomic Island 1 (SGI1) that target different chromosomal loci and are mobilized by IncC plasmids.
