Empirical genomic methods for tracking plasmid spread among healthcare-associated bacteria
2022-09-09
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Healthcare-associated bacterial pathogens frequently carry plasmids that contribute to antibiotic resistance and virulence. The horizontal transfer of plasmids in healthcare settings has been previously documented, but genomic and epidemiologic methods to study this phenomenon remain underdeveloped. The objectives of this study were to develop a method to systematically resolve...
