This study presents the reassessment of earlier published data with reference to the article published in Environmental Microbiology entitled 'IncP-type plasmids carrying genes for antibiotic resistance or aromatic compound degradation are prevalent in sequenced Aromatoleum and Thauera strains' by Lo et al. This correspondence clarifies misperceptions of plasmids classified under incompatibility (Inc) groups IncP-1 and IncP-11.
