Conjugative RP4 Plasmid-Mediated Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes to Commensal and Multidrug-Resistant Enteric Bacteria In Vitro
12 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Many antibiotic-resistant bacteria carry resistance genes on conjugative plasmids that are transferable to commensals and pathogens. We determined the ability of multiple enteric bacteria to acquire and retransfer a broad-host-range plasmid RP4. We used human-derived commensal Escherichia coli LM715-1 carrying a chromosomal red fluorescent protein gene and green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled broad-host-range...
