Figure 2.
Global distribution of plasmids and host bacterial distribution. The global distribution map is obtained from the PLSDB database (Galata et al., 2019; Schmartz et al., 2022). The pie chart represents the distribution of plasmid host bacteria, displaying the top six most abundant plasmid types, with the remaining grouped as “other”. (A–G) represent the geographic distribution and host bacterial distribution of IncA, IncC, IncF, IncH, IncL, IncM, and IncP plasmids, respectively.
