The global dataset includes the seven plasmids from bloodstream infections in DHMC sequenced in this study and 319 plasmids from the PLSDB database48. a Pie chart showing the number of species identified in the global dataset. b Distribution of mcr-9 and mcr-10 alleles among bacterial species. c Number of replicons per plasmids. d Distribution of replicon types among bacterial species. Only those replicons represented by three or more plasmids are shown for visual clarity. Red asterisk in color legends of panels C and D represent plasmid genome assemblies sequenced in this study. Features of the 319 global plasmids are presented in Supplementary Data 5.
