Challenges and considerations for whole-genome-based antimicrobial resistance plasmid investigations

|
By Ryan Wick, Benjamin P. Howden, Christopher Connor, Jia Qi Beh
| ASM Journals
INTRODUCTION Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major concern in public health, with over 5 million deaths associated with bacterial AMR (1). AMR can be conferred by de novo mutations on the chromosome or through the acquisition of genes which interfere with the mechanism of action of antibiotics—also known as antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). Bacterial ARGs can be chromosomal or carried on plasmids.

Novel insights into the genome organization of Rhizobiaceae: identification of linear plasmids

|
By Nemanja Kuzmanović, Ryan Wick, Michal Kalita, Joanna Pulawska
| BioRxiv
Abstract Members of the family Rhizobiaceae typically have multipartite genomes, that are split between two or more replicons, including the chromosome and a variable number of extrachromosomal replicons (chromids and plasmids). Nearly all Rhizobiaceae replicons sequenced and described to date have a circular topology, with the exception of the linear chromid found in the genomes of most Agrobacterium spp.
