A Cryptic Plasmid from Pasteurella multocida Has a Predicted Protein Nearly Identical to a Transport Protein from Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans

Several plasmids from Pasteurella multocida have been shown to carry antibiotic resistance genes but no other genes possibly related to the organism's pathogenesis. We report here that sequence from the plasmid pLEM from a fowl isolate of P. multocida, strain 1059, contained one open reading fr...

Description
Summary:Several plasmids from Pasteurella multocida have been shown to carry antibiotic resistance genes but no other genes possibly related to the organism's pathogenesis. We report here that sequence from the plasmid pLEM from a fowl isolate of P. multocida, strain 1059, contained one open reading frame that had significant identity with a predicted protein from pVT745, a plasmid that was isolated from a human oral isolate of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. This predicted protein had significant homology at the amino acid level to cation transport proteins.
