AbstractObjective: Three plasmids from Lactobacillus paracasei 54 were isolated from healthy newborn infant fecal samples.Methods: Plasmid was extracted using an AxyPrep Plasmid Miniprep Kit and lysozyme. The extracted plasmids were sequenced using a Roche 454 Genome Sequencer FLX.Results: Three plasmids were isolated from Lactobacillus paracasei 54. These plasmids are designated pLP5401- 03, and they are 9754, 6650, and 1788 bp in size.Conclusion: Plasmids pLP5401 and pLP5402 were found to contain replication genes that are likely to function via the theta-type mechanism. Plasmid pLP5403 is predicted to replicate via the rolling-circle replication (RCR) mechanism. The RCR replication plasmid can be applied as a useful vector in the food industry

ABSTRACT We isolated and sequenced a plasmid, named pIP1714 (4,978 bp), which specifies resistance to streptogramins A and B and the mixture of these compounds. pIP1714 was isolated from a Staphylococcus cohnii subsp. cohnii strain found in the environment of a hospital where pristinamycin was extensively used. Resistance to both compounds and related antibiotics is encoded by two novel, probably cotranscribed genes, (i) vatC, encoding a 212-amino-acid (aa) acetyltransferase that inactivates streptogramin A and that exhibits 58.2 to 69.8% aa identity with the Vat, VatB, and SatA proteins, and (ii) vgbB, encoding a 295-aa lactonase that inactivates streptogramin B and that shows 67% aa identity with the Vgb lactonase. pIP1714 includes a 2,985-bp fragment also found in two rolling-circle replication and mobilizable plasmids, pUB110 and pBC16, from gram-positive bacteria. In all three plasmids, the common fragment was delimited by two direct repeats of four nucleotides (GGGC) and included (i) putative genes closely related to repB, which encodes a replication protein, and topre(mob), which encodes a protein required for conjugative mobilization and site-specific recombination, and (ii) sequences very similar to the double- and single-strand origins (dso, ssoU ) and the recombination site, RSA. The antibiotic resistance genes repBand pre(mob) carried by each of these plasmids were found in the same transcriptional orientation.
