Article Synopsis
- Conjugative plasmids, like those in IncC, prevent the entry of similar plasmids to maintain stability within the host cell through mechanisms like entry and surface exclusion.
- The study identified a new exclusion factor, Sfx, which is necessary for preventing related plasmids from entering a host, and Sfx operates differently from previously known exclusion factors.
- Investigations revealed that Sfx is expressed at higher levels than another factor, eexC, and that the specificity of surface exclusion is mediated by the adhesin TraN in the donor plasmid, contributing to the incompatibility between IncA and IncC plasmids.
