Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals Host Factors Affecting Conjugation in <i>Escherichia coli</i>

The emergence and dissemination of antibiotic resistance threaten the treatment of common bacterial infections. Resistance genes are often encoded on conjugative elements, which can be horizontally transferred to diverse bacteria. In order to delay conjugative transfer of resistance genes, more info...
