Plasmids can transfer to Clostridium difficile CD37 and 630Δ erm both by a DNase resistant conjugation-like mechanism and a DNase sensitive mechanism

Abstract
Broad host range conjugative plasmids that replicate in Escherichia coli have been widely used to mobilise smaller replicons, bearing their cognate origin of transfer (oriT) into a variety of organisms that are less tractable genetically, such as Clostridium (Clostridioides) difficile. In this work we demonstrated that the oriT region of pMTL9301 (derived from RK2) is not required for transfer between E. coli and C. difficile strains 630Δerm and CD37 and that this oriT-independent transfer is abolished in the presence of DNase when CD37 is the recipient. Transfer to the 630Δerm strain is DNase resistant even without an obvious oriT, when E. coli CA434 is used as a donor and is sensitive to DNase when E. coli HB101 is the donor.
