Profiling the plasmid conjugation potential of urinary <i>E. coli</i>

2022-03-03

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli is often associated with urinary tract infection (UTI). Antibiotic resistance in E. coli is an ongoing challenge in managing UTI. Extrachromosomal elements – plasmids – are vectors for clinically relevant traits, such as antibiotic resistance, with conjugation being one of the main methods for horizontal propagation of plasmids in bacterial populations. Targeting of conjugation components has bee...
