Plasmids identification and classification is an essential parameter in current bacterial typing. The most widely used PCR-based methods are the PCR-based replicon typing (PBRT) and the degenerate primer MOB typing (DPMT). PBRT targets the replicons on the plasmids and DPMT targets the relaxase genes. A finer resolution of phylogenetic relatedness can be obtained by plasmid multiLocus sequence typing available for the major plasmid types occurring in Enterobacteriaceae.
