A significant benefit of this method is that, in theory, the user has wide latitude in the choice of enterobacterial recipient strains. This paper, as well as others¹¹, use E. coli as a recipient strain, however the pJA1 plasmid has been used successfully with other enterobacterial recipient species such as Shigella flexneri⁶ and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain SL1344¹⁰. Theoretically, the γ origin of replication (ori_R6Kγ) in pJA1 allows this plasmid to be maintained in a broad host range¹⁹, allowing that the recipient strain is pir+. Recently, new methods have been described that allow for construction of the pir+ in a range of enterobacterial strains²⁰, giving additional flexibility. Additionally, the300 base pair mob region from the RP4 plasmid in pJA1 allows conjugative transfer of this plasmid to a wide range of gram negative bacterial strains¹⁹. Simply put, this method could theoretically be used with a variety of recipient strains, as long as several conditions are met: the strain is pir+, and is marked with an antibiotic resistance other than kanamycin and other than the donor strain.
