Plasmid pB8 is closely related to the prototype IncP-1β plasmid R751 but transfers poorly to Escherichia coli and carries a new transposon encoding a small multidrug resistance efflux protein

The IncP-1β plasmid pB8, which confers resistance to amoxicillin, spectinomycin, streptomycin, and sulfonamides, was previously isolated from a sewage treatment plant. It was found to possess abnormal conjugative transfer properties, i.e., transfer to Escherichia coli by conjugation or electroporati...
