Growth in a biofilm promotes conjugation of a <i>bla</i> <sub>NDM-1</sub> -bearing plasmid between <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> strains
2023-01-11
Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing problem, especially in Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae such as Klebsiella pneumoniae . Horizontal transfer of conjugative plasmids contributes to AMR gene dissemination. Bacteria such as K. pneumoniae commonly exist in biofilms, yet most studies focus on planktonic cultures. Here we studied the transfer of a multidrug resistance plasmid in planktonic and biofilm popul...
