Genomic analysis of qnr-harbouring IncX plasmids and their transferability within different hosts under induced stress
19 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Conjugative plasmids play a major role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes. Knowledge of the plasmid characteristics and behaviour can allow development of control strategies. Here we focus on the IncX group of plasmids carrying genes conferring quinolone resistance (PMQR), reporting their transfer and persistence within host bacteria of various genotypes under distinct conditions and...
