Inhibition of bacterial conjugation by phage M13 and its protein g3p: quantitative analysis and model.

Inhibition of bacterial conjugation by phage M13 and its protein g3p: quantitative analysis and model.

Conjugation is the main mode of horizontal gene transfer that spreads antibiotic resistance among bacteria. Strategies for inhibiting conjugation may be useful for preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics and preventing the emergence of bacterial strains with multiple resistances. Filamentous bac...
