Circular intermediate-mediated horizontal transfer of the chromosome-encoded cfr(C) gene in multi-drug resistant Campylobacter coli from swine sources

Circular intermediate-mediated horizontal transfer of the chromosome-encoded cfr(C) gene in multi-drug resistant Campylobacter coli from swine sources

Campylobacter is a major zoonotic pathogen that causes gastrointestinal and, rarely, immune diseases in humans. The antimicrobial-resistance gene cfr(C) carried by Campylobacter and is a cfr-like gene that targets bacterial 23S rRNA through A2503 methylation. cfr(C) confers cross-resistance to five...
