Abstract

This short primer is intended to give an overview of bacterial plasmids for those not yet familiar with these fascinating genetic elements. It covers their basic properties but does not attempt to cover the diversity of phenotypic properties that can be encoded by plasmids, and includes suggestions for further reading.
