The plasmid genome is composed of two parts: the backbone module and the accessory module. The backbone module includes a replication region, a stability maintenance region, and a conjugation transfer region, while the accessory module is mainly comprised of antibiotic resistant genes. The two modules are not distinct from each other, but rather, they are interspersed.
