If a strain that contained a virulent plasmid was extracted and transformed into a different species of bacteria, would it have the same virulent factors than it did in the original strain it came from? For example, if there was a virulent plasmid within e.coli that caused it to be pathogenic, would inserting the virulent plasmid, to lets say bacillus cause a similar/same response? or does it have to be within the same species.

no, some bacteria can have a resistance to the virulent plasmid.
