1. HISTORICAL EVENTS THAT SPAWNED THE FIELD FUNCTIONAL ATTRIBUTES REQUIRED FOR PLASMID PERSISTENCE AND SURVIVAL Conjugative transfer of plasmids reflects an indispensable trait required for their ensured survival as selfish DNA molecules (56, 59). Traits such as conferring antibiotic resistance were first recognized as being plasmidborne in Shigella and Salmonella spp. as described in the introduction above. Antibiotic resistance conferred by plasmid genes provided survival value to pathogens that would otherwise be killed by the antibiotic(s).
