Global prevalence, characteristics, and future prospects of IncX3 plasmids: A review.

ABSTRACT: IncX3 plasmids are narrow host range plasmids mostly found in Enterobacteriaceae with great conjugation ability, high stability, no fitness cost, and the ability to improve biofilm formation in their bacterial hosts. IncX3 plasmids have spread swiftly, primarily in several nations and among different species over the last 10 years. bla_NDM , bla_KPC , and bla_OXA-181 are the carbapenemase genes carried by IncX3 plasmids. Among them, bla_NDM is often located on the IncX3 plasmid, which is deemed as the primary vehicle of bla_NDM transmission. Isolates harboring IncX3 plasmids are found in nations all over the world from human, animal, and environmental sources. Cointegrate plasmids related to IncX3 h
