The pQBR mercury resistance plasmids: a model set of sympatric environmental mobile genetic elements

2026-03-27

Abstract excerpt

Plasmids are extrachromosomal mobile genetic elements that can facilitate rapid bacterial adaptation by transferring genes between individuals. While plasmids are known to exist in diverse habitats and encode a range of traits, most of our knowledge about plasmids comes from clinically-associated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) plasmids that have already been recruited as vectors of drug resistance and have likely...
