Biofilms preserve the transmissibility of a multi-drug resistance plasmid

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Genevieve A. Metzger from the Published in partnership with Nanyang Technological University have published the research work: Biofilms preserve the transmissibility of a multi-drug resistance plasmid, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 13/05/2022
  • what: The authors compared the evolution of plasmid persistence in clones evolved over 14 days in the presence and absence of Tet (Tet+ and Tet- populations). The authors focus on genetic changes in the plasmid pB10. The authors showed that growth in biofilms can promote the retention of MDR plasmids while preserving the horizontal mode of plasmid transmission better . . .
