Transmid©
This Transmid© then replicates as a
circular transmissible plasmid and
spreads by bacterial conjugation
to other bacteria.Transmids© can be manipulated to
deliver DNA to a range of bacterial
species, other benefits of this delivery
vehicle are that they are not lytic or
lysogenic and subsequent spread into
the bacterial population is by
conjugation – limiting the possibility
of clearance by the immune systemConjugative Transmid©Subsequent conjugation
is promiscuous
