Clinical stringent response activation promotes conjugal transfer of staphylococcal resistance plasmids
2025-11-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Conjugative transfer of plasmids represents a major route through which antibiotic resistance genes are spread. In the case of the prevalent and deadly pathogen Staphylococcus aureus , >90% of clinical isolates carry at least one plasmid. While plasmid-encoded mechanisms ( e.g. plasmid copy number) can influence conjugation frequency, host factors and environmental stimuli can also affect tran...
