The role of plasmids in the gut microbiome during the first year of life

2023-04-05

Abstract excerpt

Plasmids are extrachromosomal self-replicating genetic elements that play a key role in bacterial ecology and evolution by shuttling diverse host-beneficial traits between bacteria. However, our understanding of plasmids is still limited, particularly in the human gut microbiota, and little is known about how they are acquired and become established in infants. In this study, we explored a longitudinal fecal metag...
