2023-10-30
Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial resistance is a persistent challenge in human and veterinary medicine, which is often encoded on plasmids which are transmissible between bacterial cells. Incompatibility is the inability of two plasmids to be stably maintained in one cell which is caused by the presence of identical or closely related shared determinants between two plasmids originating from partition or replication mechanisms.
