Purpose: To investigate the genetic diversity of IncG plasmids, we have proposed a typing scheme based on replicon and performed comparative genomic analysis of five IncG plasmids from China.
Methods: p30860-KPC, p116965-KPC, pA1705-KPC, pA1706-KPC and pNY5520-KPC total in five IncG plasmids from clinical isolates of and , respectively, were fully sequenced and were compared with the previously collected reference plasmid p10265-KPC.
Results: Based on phylogeny, IncG-type plasmids are divided into IncG-I to IncG-VIII, the five plasmids belong to IncG-VIII. A detailed sequence comparison was then presented that the IncG plasmid involved accessory region I (Tn), accessory region II (IS), and accessory region III ( -region). Expect for the pNY5520-KPC, the rest of the plasmids had the same backbone structure as the reference one. Within the plasmids, insertion sequences Tn and Tn were identified, a novel unknown insertion region was found in Tn. In addition, Tn and Tn were newly designated in the study.
Conclusion: The data presented here including a typing scheme and detailed genetic comparison which provide an insight into the diversification and evolution history of IncG plasmids.

Objectives: Herein, we detected one multidrug-resistant Aeromonas hydrophila strain K522 co-carrying two bla genes together with a novel chromosomal integrative and mobilizable element (IME) Tn7548 from China. To reveal the genetic characteristics of the novel reservoir of bla and IME in Aeromonas, a detailed genomic characterization of K522 was performed, and a phylogenetic analysis of Tn7412-related IMEs was carried out.
Methods: Carbapenemases were detected by using the immunocolloidal gold technique and antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by using VITEK 2.

Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infections. This obligate intracellular bacterium develops within a membrane-bound vacuole called an inclusion, which sequesters the chlamydiae from the host cytoplasm. Host-pathogen interactions at this interface are mediated by chlamydial inclusion membrane proteins (Incs).

Plasmid vectors encoding hydrophilic (IncB, IncC, IncE, IncG) and hydrophobic (IncC, IncG) domains of C. trachomatis incorporation membrane proteins and reporter green fluorescing proteins were constructed. After transfection of HeLa cells with these plasmid constructs, localization of the complex proteins was determined by laser confocal microscopy.

The Escherichia coli IncG and IncU plasmid incompatibility groups were assigned in 1980 and 1981, respectively. Complete plasmid sequences have recently been published for both these groups, and revealed that their replication proteins are related. We show that when cloned at high-copy-number, putative iterons from the previously identified IncG replicon cause strong incompatibility with IncU plasmids.
