Horizontal transmission of a multidrug-resistant IncN plasmid isolated from urban wastewater

Horizontal transmission of a multidrug-resistant IncN plasmid isolated from urban wastewater

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are considered reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Given that plasmid-mediated horizontal gene transfer plays a critical role in disseminating ARGs in the environment, it is important to inspect the transfer potential of transmissible plasmids to hav...
