Abstract

Plasmid pIP501 was transferred by conjugation from Lactococcus lactis to Lactobacillus delbrückii subsp. bulgaricus and Lactobacillus helveticus. Only Lb. delbrückii subsp. bulgaricus transconjugants could act as a donor in crosses with Lc. lactis. No Lactobacillus transconjugants were detected after inter- or intra-species Lactobacillus crosses. Plasmid pIP501 has undergone no detectable deletion or rearrangement during transfer from Lc. lactis to Lactobacillus strains.

Antimicrobial Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.
