ABSTRACT Rts1, a large conjugative plasmid originally isolated from Proteus vulgaris, is a prototype for the IncT plasmids and exhibits pleiotropic thermosensitive phenotypes. Here we report the complete nucleotide sequence of Rts1. The genome is 217,182 bp in length and contains 300 potential open reading frames (ORFs). Among these, the products of 141 ORFs, including 9 previously identified genes, displayed significant sequence similarity to known proteins. The set of genes responsible for the conjugation function of Rts1 has been identified. A broad array of genes related to diverse processes of DNA metabolism were also identified. Of particular interest was the presence of tus-like genes that could be involved in replication termination. Inspection of the overall genome organization revealed that the Rts1 genome is composed of four large modules, providing an example of modular evolution of plasmid genomes.

ABSTRACTWe report the complete nucleotide sequence of a plasmid, pA31-12, carryingblaCTX-M-55andmcr-1from a chickenEscherichia coliisolate. pA31-12 has an IncI2 replicon that displays extensive sequence similarity with pHN1122-1-borneblaCTX-M-55and pHNSHP45-bornemcr-1. Insertion sequences ISEcp1and ISApl1are responsible for the mobilization ofblaCTX-M-55andmcr-1, respectively. The colocalization ofmcr-1with an extended-spectrum β-lactamase gene on a conjugative plasmid may accelerate the dissemination of both genes by coselection.
