Assessment of a plasmid conjugation procedure to monitor horizontal transfer of an extended-spectrum β-lactamase resistance gene under food chain scenarios
Plasmids are relevant reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) which confer adaptive advantages to their host and can be horizontally transferred. The aims of this study were to develop a conjugation procedure to monitor the horizontal transfer of a 193 kb plasmid containing the extended-...
