Investigating Possible Interspecies Communication of Plasmids Associated with Transfer of Third-Generation Cephalosporin, Quinolone, and Colistin Resistance Between Simultaneously Isolated Escherichia Coli and Klebsiella Pneumoniae

Investigating Possible Interspecies Communication of Plasmids Associated with Transfer of Third-Generation Cephalosporin, Quinolone, and Colistin Resistance Between Simultaneously Isolated Escherichia Coli and Klebsiella Pneumoniae

ABSTRACT The coinfection process producing multiple species of pathogens provides a specific ecological niche for the exchange of genetic materials between pathogens, in which plasmids play a vital role in horizontal gene transfer, especially for drug resistance, but the underlying transfer pathway...
