Going around in circles: virulence plasmids in enteric pathogens
Plasmids have a major role in the development of disease caused by enteric bacterial pathogens. Virulence plasmids are usually large (>40 kb) low copy elements and encode genes that promote host–pathogen interactions. Although virulence plasmids provide advantages to bacteria in specific cond...
