Evolution and maintenance of a large multidrug-resistant plasmid in a Salmonella enterica Typhimurium host under differing antibiotic selection pressures
22 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through plasmids is a major mechanism for the development of bacterial antimicrobial resistance. The adaptation and evolution mechanisms of multidrug-resistant (MDR) plasmids with their hosts are not fully understood. Herein, we conducted experimental evolution of a 244 kb MDR plasmid (pJXP9) under various conditions including no antibiotics and...
