Genetic compatibility and ecological connectivity drive the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes
2024-10-16
Abstract excerpt
The dissemination of mobile antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) via horizontal gene transfer is a significant threat to public health globally. The flow of ARGs into and between pathogens, however, remains poorly understood, limiting our ability to develop strategies for managing the antibiotic resistance crisis. Therefore, we aimed to identify genetic and ecological factors that are fundamental for successful hori...
