Replaced blower fan resistor today without removing dash. Dealer wanted 10 hours labor to replace resistor. Took me two hours, next one could do in hour. 4 of 5 fan screws you can get to without problems. For 5th screw which requires removal of dash, I just pulled fan down and mount broke right off.
1 Answer 1. If I understand the nomenclature correctly, an R plasmid is just any plasmid containing an antibiotic (R)esistance gene (eg. Amp, Kan, Cm, etc.). It's a bit of an outdated name from when people didn't know how exactly the plasmids conferred such resistance.
For instance, some plasmids carry genes that make bacteria resistant to antibiotics. (These genes are called R genes.) When the plasmids carrying R genes are exchanged in a population, they can quickly make the population resistant to antibiotic drugs.
