New Inc Q R plasmids, pIE639 and pIE723, are characterized and compared to the prototype Inc Q plasmid RSF1010. Additional resistance determinants not common on other R plasmids are located on small stretches of DNA interspacing essential regions at different positions in an otherwise unchanged core of Inc Q plasmid DNA. The contribution of Inc Q plasmids to resistance evolution in bacteria is discussed.
