The transfer of antibiotic resistance genes between evolutionary distant bacteria
2024-10-22
Abstract excerpt
Infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria threaten human health globally. Resistance is often caused by mobile antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) shared horizontally between bacterial genomes. Many ARGs originate from environmental and commensal bacteria and are transferred between divergent bacterial hosts before they reach pathogens. This process remains, however, poorly understood, which complicates the dev...
