ABSTRACT
We investigated the effect of toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems in bla(CTX-M-15)-bearing plasmids of Klebsiella pneumoniae on persister formation. The persister formation rate was notably high in transconjugants in plasmids bearing TA system than the transconjugants in plasmids bearing no TA systems. Activation of relA and spoT expression was higher in transconjugants with plasmids bearing TA systems. Thus, TA systems in plasmids may contribute to the maintenance of bla(CTX-M-15)-bearing plasmids and host survival via persister formation.
