Antimicrobial resistance in bacteria is one of the biggest threats to Public Health worldwide. Plasmid facilitate the vertical and horizontal spread of antimicrobial resistance genes between different bacteria. The host-range and the adaptation of a plasmid to new host determine the impact of plasmid in the spread of resistance. In this work, we describe a new peptide that prevents the adaptation of a narrow-host range plasmid pB1000, usually found in Pasteurellaceae to the novel host Eschericia coli. As an adaptive mechanism, the disruption of this peptide by ISs from the E. coli chromosome increases the stability of pB1000. Depending on the ISs itself the plasmid host-range is expanded or shifted
