Horizontal transmission of penicillin binding protein 1A caused a nationwide spread of β-lactam resistance in pneumococci

2022-12-12

Abstract excerpt

The emergence and spread of drug-resistant bacteria continue to be a global crisis. The mechanism of the resistance spread via mobile genetic elements such as plasmids is well known, however, the impact of the natural transformation on the spread remains unclear. Streptococcus pneumoniae is well known to be a transformable pathogen by natural competence and they become β-lactam resistance by the acquisition of ch...
