A ST prevalence in the final dataset. Following a systematic literature search, the dataset consisted of n = 823 genomes, wherein 51.4% were made up from the top 4 prevalent STs. B Plasmid mobility percentage by ST. Top: Percentage of plasmids with either conjugative, mobilizable, or non-mobilizable plasmids. Bottom: Number of plasmids per strain categorized by prevalent and non-prevalent ST’s to facilitate interpretation. C Plasmid metadata. Multi-panel heatmap consisting of every conjugative and mobilizable plasmid in our final dataset (n = 1775, y-axis). From left to right: (i) heatmap indicating ST, where yellow represents non-prevalent and other colors represent prevalent STs; (ii) heatmap indicating plasmid transferability, where black indicates conjugative and gray indicates mobilizable, (iii) bar graph where the x-axis is the number of genes encoded on each plasmid; (iv) bar graph where the x-axis is the plasmid length; (v) heatmap where black indicates the incompatibility group for that plasmid. Plasmids are ordered from greatest to least number of encoded genes (top to bottom).
