Multireplicon plasmids emerge under predictable rules and drive the spread of antimicrobial resistance across bacterial hosts

2026-05-07

Abstract excerpt

Plasmids are DNA molecules that replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome and are typically associated with the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence determinants, among other relevant traits. Fusion events between plasmids generate larger, complex backbones that carry two or more replication systems, known as multireplicon plasmids. Despite decades of study, we are still far from unders...
