Cobalt complexes modulate plasmid conjugation in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG), such as extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase genes, are commonly carried on plasmids. Plasmids can transmit between bacteria, disseminate globally, and cause clinically important resistance. Therefore, targeting plasmids could reduce A...
