Influence of selected non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals on antibiotic resistance gene transfer in Escherichia coli
21 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) transfer rapidly among bacterial species all over the world contributing to the aggravation of antibiotic resistance crisis. Antibiotics at sub-inhibitory concentration induce horizontal gene transfer (HRT) between bacteria, especially through conjugation. The role of common non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals in the market in disseminating antibiotic resistance is not...
