Plasmid-mediated chromosomal gene transfer in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

M Roberts et al. J Bacteriol. 1978 Apr.

Abstract

An indigenous Neisseria gonorrhoeae conjugative plasmid, pLE2450, was tested for its ability to mediate chromosomal gene transfer between gonococcal strains. Plasmid-mediated chromosomal transfer was detected at a low frequency and can be used to establish certain linkage relationships between amino acid and antibiotic resistance markers.
