The plasmid-borne <i>hipBA</i> operon of <i>Klebsiella michiganensis</i> encodes a potent plasmid stabilization system
We provide the first evidence of the role of a plasmid-encoded HipBA system in stability of mobile genetic elements and analyse the presence of HipBA across the KoSC. These results expand our knowledge of both a common enterobacterial TA system and a highly medically relevant group of bacteria.
