This study compares protein-protein interactions of plasmid-encoded and chromosomal genes in bacteria, finding plasmid genes have more interactions but limited network impact.

The paper assesses plasmid-host compatibility by analyzing protein-protein interactions across 4,363 bacterial hosts, identifying species with high interaction rates with specific plasmids like pOXA-48.

The paper examines the AMR gene diversity in ST131 E. coli using a preterm infant resistome, showing that plasmids drive AMR gene composition through conjugation and recombination.

The paper examines plasmid-chromosome gene interactions in E. coli to identify a new invariant of bacterial protein-protein interaction networks related to co-evolution.
