A highly conserved and globally prevalent cryptic plasmid is among the most numerous mobile genetic elements in the human gut

Plasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements that often encode fitness enhancing features. However, many bacteria carry ‘cryptic’ plasmids that do not confer clear beneficial functions. We identified one such cryptic plasmid, pBI143, which is ubiquitous across industrialized gut microbiomes, and i...
