Enhancement of bacterial competitive fitness by apramycin resistance plasmids from non-pathogenic Escherichia coli.

Biology letters - 22 Sept 2006

Yates C M, Shaw D J, Roe A J, Woolhouse M E J, Amyes S G B

Abstract excerpt

The study of antibiotic resistance has in the past focused on organisms that are pathogenic to humans or animals. However, the development of resistance in commensal organisms is of concern because of possible transfer of resistance genes to zoonotic pathogens. Conjugative plasmids are genetic elements capable of such transfer and are traditionally thought to engender a fitness burden on host bacteria. In this...
