Four different integrative recombination events involved in the mobilization of the gonococcal 5.2 kb beta-lactamase plasmid pSJ5.2 in Escherichia coli.

We identified and characterized four different recombination mechanisms involved in the cointegrative transfer of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae beta-lactamase plasmid pSJ5.2 by the gonococcal 41 kb tet(M) and the Gram negative self-transmissible plasmids N3 and R64 drd-33 using an Escherichia colirecA-background. Mobilization of pSJ5.

Functional analysis of ori1 and repA of the R-plasmid pSJ5.6 from Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

The functional ori1 of the 5.6kb gonococcal R-plasmid pSJ5.6 contains an A-T rich region followed by four 22bp direct repeats and one 19bp inverted repeat.

Mobilization of the gonococcal 5.2 kb beta-lactamase plasmid pSJ5.2 into Escherichia coli by cointegration with several gram-conjugative plasmids.

We report the mobilization by cointegration of the gonococcal 5.2 kb beta-lactamase plasmid pSJ5.2 in an Escherichia coli background.

Molecular analysis of oriT and MobA protein in the 7.4 kb mobilizable beta-lactamase plasmid pSJ7.4 from Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

The mobilization region of the 7.4 kb beta-lactamase plasmid pSJ7.4 from Neisseria gonorrhoeae was characterized.
