A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids naturally exist in bacterial cells, and they also occur in some eukaryotes.

A global team has made a significant advance in understanding how bacterial plasmids contribute to antibiotic resistance.

Recent TAU study demonstrates how a crucial but underexplored process of DNA transfer between bacteria affects its defense ...

Fu and colleagues used Vibrio cholerae bacteria as a model for studying the plasmid defense system known as DdmDE, consisting of proteins called DdmD and DdmE, using cryo-electron microscopy to ...

As part of the natural exchange, plasmids often provide recipient bacteria with genetic advantages. For example, many antibiotic-resistance genes spread through plasmid transfer between bacteria.
