^aThis list is the result of a TBLASTN analysis using the amino acid sequence of H-NS as a query under strict conditions (i.e., thresholds of 30% identity and 70% query coverage). Besides these plasmids, pSf-R27 from Shigella flexneri 2a str. 2457T was completely sequenced by Wei et al. [17] and encodes the H-NS-like protein Sfh.
^bAverage G+C content of the plasmid.
^cReported TBLASTN identity to H-NS.
^dPlasmid classification according to its source organism (−, Gram-negative plasmid).
^ePlasmid classification according to its relaxase gene sequence as described by Garcillán-Barcia et al. [16].
