a

Several Inc. groups are identical; e.g. IncG = IncU.

b

Representative plasmids are listed based on Lawley et al. [186].

c

Accession numbers in National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank and RefSeq (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Sequin/acc.html) and Wellcome Sanger Institute (prefix “NCTC” https://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/downloads/plasmids).

d

Names of replication initiation protein (RIP). “NA” indicates that the nucleotide sequences of the plasmid are not available.

e

Classification of MOB classes and MPF types is based on Smillie et al. [132] and Guglielmini et al. [187]. “-” indicates that the genes involved in conjugation have not been detected, whereas “NA” indicates that the nucleotide sequences of the plasmid are not available.

f

Plasmid host range determined based on genome sequencing projects (hosts in which a plasmid has been found) and/or filter mating assays.

g

Original hosts are unknown because exogenous plasmid capturing was used.
