Conjugation dynamics of self-transmissible and mobilisable plasmids into <i>E. coli</i> O157:H7 on <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> rosettes
2018-07-24
Abstract excerpt
Many antibiotic resistance genes present in human pathogenic bacteria are believed to originate from environmental bacteria and conjugation of antibiotic resistance conferring plasmids is considered to be one of the major reasons for the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistances. A hotspot for plasmid-based horizontal gene transfer is the phyllosphere, i.e. the surfaces of aboveground plant parts. Bacteria...
