We created a generalizable pipeline for antibiotic-resistance-gene-free plasmid (ARGFP)-based cloning using a dual auxotrophic- and essential-gene-based selection strategy. We use auxotrophic selection to construct plasmids in engineered E. coli DH10B cloning strains and both auxotrophic- and essential-gene-based selection to (1) select for recombinant strains and (2) maintain a plasmid in E. coli Nissle 1917, a common chassis for engineered probiotic applications, and E. coli MG1655, the laboratory “wild-type” E. coli strain. We show that our approach has comparable efficiency to that of antibiotic-resistance-gene-based cloning. We also show that the double-knockout Nissle and MG1655 strains are simple to transform with plasmids of interest. Notably, we show that the engineered Nissle strains are amenable to long-term plasmid maintenance in repeated culturing as well as in the mouse gut, demonstrating the potential for broad applications while minimizing the risk of antibiotic resistance spread via horizontal gene transfer. We develop an antibiotic-resistance-gene-free plasmid (ARGFP)-based cloning method ARGFPs are maintained without selection pressure for a month in vitro ARGFPs show long-term maintenance in the mouse gut We apply the ARGFP method to multiple strains, showing its generalizability Plasmids are essential tools of genetic engineering. However, the current use of antibiotic resistance genes to maintain plasmids in cellular populations risks the spread of antibiotic resistance, particularly in uncontrolled environments. Here, we present antibiotic-resistance-gene-free plasmids (ARGFPs) that can be used for cloning and maintained in engineered strains of E. coli that are undergoing extended subculturing or that have colonized the murine gut. Widespread use and incomplete disposal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) can increase antibiotic resistance spread via horizontal gene transfer. Amrofell et al. develop an ARG-free, plasmid-based cloning method, demonstrate the long-term maintenance of such plasmids in vitro and in vivo, and show its generalizability using E. coli.
