Comparative Sequence Analysis of Multidrug-Resistant IncA/C Plasmids from Salmonella enterica

Comparative Sequence Analysis of Multidrug-Resistant IncA/C Plasmids from Salmonella enterica

Determinants of multidrug resistance (MDR) are often encoded on mobile elements, such as plasmids, transposons, and integrons, which have the potential to transfer among foodborne pathogens, as well as to other virulent pathogens, increasing the threats these traits pose to human and veterinary heal...
