Plasmid conjugation drives within-patient plasmid diversity
2024-09-29
Abstract excerpt
Plasmids are well known vehicles of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes dissemination. Through conjugation, plasmid–encoded AMR genes are spread among neighbouring bacteria, irrespective of their strain or even their species. This process is very concerning from a public health perspective, as plasmid-borne AMR gene outbreaks are often not confined to single species or strains and are therefore more difficult to...
