Genomic analysis of qnr-harbouring IncX plasmids and their transferability within different hosts under induced stress

Abstract Background Conjugative plasmids play a major role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes. Knowledge of the plasmid characteristics and behaviour can allow development of control strategies. Here we focus on the IncX group of plasmids carrying genes conferring quinolone resistan...
