Emerging patterns of plasmid-host coevolution that stabilize antibiotic resistance

2017-06-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Multidrug resistant bacterial pathogens have become a serious global human health threat, and conjugative plasmids are important drivers of the rapid spread of resistance to last-resort antibiotics. Whereas antibiotics have been shown to select for adaptation of resistance plasmids to their new bacterial hosts, or vice versa , a general evolutionary mechanism has not yet emerged. Here we conduc...
