Functional Identification and Evolutionary Analysis of Two Novel Plasmids Mediating Quinolone Resistance in <i>Proteus vulgaris</i>

Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) remains one of the main mechanisms of bacterial quinolone resistance and plays an important role in the transmission of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). In this study, two novel plasmids, p3M-2A and p3M-2B, which mediate quinolone resistance in <i&g...
