Piggybacking on niche-adaptation reduces the cost of multidrug resistance plasmids

2020-10-23

Abstract excerpt

The persistence of plasmids in bacterial populations represents a puzzling evolutionary problem with serious clinical implications due to their role in the ongoing antibiotic resistance crisis. Recently, major advancements have been made towards resolving this “plasmid paradox” but mainly in a non-clinical context. Here we propose an additional explanation for the maintenance of multidrug resistance (MDR) plasmids...
