Transmission of virulence plasmids from CR-HvKP strains to E. coli EC600 by conjugation
(A) S1-PFGE of the five CR-HvKP strains and their corresponding transconjugants. Each transconjugant was indicated with a specific pattern.
(B) Schematic diagram of different modes of the transfer of the virulence plasmid. Plasmids pVir-CR-HvKP, pKPC-CR-HvKP, p3-CR-HvKP, p4-CR-HvKP, and p5-CR-HvKP were indicated by orange, green, blue, purple, and gray, respectively.
