Clinical extended-spectrum beta-lactamase antibiotic resistance plasmids have diverse transfer rates and can spread in the absence of antibiotic selection
2019-10-07
Abstract excerpt
Horizontal gene transfer, mediated by conjugative plasmids, is a major driver of the global spread of antibiotic resistance. However, the relative contributions of factors that underlie the spread of clinically relevant plasmids are unclear. Here, we quantified conjugative transfer dynamics of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing plasmids in the absence of antibiotics. We showed that clinical Escheri...
